Digressing, but connected - I know a guy who lives in a house that used to be occupied by an elderly blue badge holder and had a "badge" painted on the road outside his house.
The new guy got his white paint out and painted the fading sign back in (very badly too).
Now he uses it to reserve the space outside his house - it makes me mad too.
A Merc owner too.
Might I suggest an anonymous telephone call to the Highways Dept.
One of the neighbours tried it and was told that the road marking was advisory and anyone could use it - they weren't interested in removing it.
However, nobody parks on it, except the guy in the house.
I dont know where you get the idea of such a high percentage of Blue Badges being illegal , however , i can tell you that a very high percentage of genuine badge users ( including my wife) would very much rather that they did not need them. Incidentally my wife had to make several attempts to get her badge and needed a letter from our G.P.What percentage of blue badge use is illegal? 80%+ is my guess.

If you are correct that these are her only problems then she would definitely not get a Blue Badge without lying and without her GP lying to back her up.An acquaintance has a blue badge. Her only medical condition is malformed hands, no mobility problems. She drives a completely standard vehicle and no problem using the gearshift and other controls. Why should she qualify for a blue badge?

As you have stated thes spaces are arbitary. Anyone can use them disabled or not as they have no road restriction order on them The only ones that are mandatory must display a vertical sign and are yellow lines not white as you often see or with any other type of emblem on them. As also stated a call to you local council either the highways dept or even adult services should stop him if he is not entitled to the space. Our local council have now stopped from doing these bays due to the mass applications especially in busy areas.The new guy got his white paint out and painted the fading sign back in (very badly too)
