Mine is well & truly worn out now so wondered where I can buy a new one but not just another card one but something more durable?

    Use some selotape round the edges - works a treat - I did mine a few months back as I couldn't be bothered getting the council to send me another one. Knowing them they would simply send out an application form for a BB!!
  • I think that they only come in cardboard versions at least the council ones do. They are free form them and they will send you out a new one if yours has been damaged or has worn out. Just ring them up and ask. I keep mine in a leather wallet that I bought off a seller on ebay - red leather and it has kept it in good nick.

    Mine new one is plastic, far more durable.
  • Price varies from free to about £3 for the plastic integrated clock - folder.

    I'd like one too. :)
  • Mojo & only_mee,

    I can't re-find that exact one at the moment, I'm out all day today, but I will find it for you and post a link in this thread.

    What attracted me to this design [there are mi££ions after your money] is not only the plastic clock but the critical point that the new [post Jan 2013] blue badge hologram is not behind plastic and complies with the new Department of Transport guidelines to facilitate hand held device scanning per the new national dBase..

    I've just rang Kent CC up and even if you're from another Authority you can order one of these.
