I have just applied to KCC for a blue badge - as a brand-new application.

I do not drive, but used to until so dodgy, and issued with bus ticket, but Carer does; now, if my legs are achy, etc, is Brian allowed to pop into TESCO whilst I rest in the car? Or do we both have to both go in?

:-)

If you're not going in, then Brian can park in a normal space. No need for the blue badge in that instance.

Or get him to walk in and save a pound!

Surely the whole point in the blue badge is that on your achy days you can park close enough to do stuff?

Leeway for medical reasons certainly, leeway so that a family member can basically use the car as their own and to hell with the disabled person certainly not.

That was what I meant when I said "I would agree in principle when it comes to regular use". It was your proposal of a blanket ban I couldn't agree with.

OK.. so if i take my MIL to the opticians i cannot wait outside with the car. But i can leave it and
go and do my own shopping? One of those things that will always be flawed i guess.

yep seems the way , but missuse created the problem

brian isnt disabled ? he would park in a normal space and walk as brian isnt allowed to use your badge "to pop in tesco"

thats what they are for spot on , for the disabled person to use, i wont go into the odd achy day and fulfilling the application criteria as that states "great difficulty" , not the odd achy day?:eek:

pwales, it would be worth sending a message to the Forum Team to ask why your post was edited, it does seem rather strange. I can understand why you are upset, I actually think editing a post is worse than deleting it - the latter simply means that your comments disappear, whereas the former distorts what you said. Let us know if you get an answer.

ive done it thanks

my post was changed from a law change that was a positive for disabled.
to be made like a negative law change for disabled people
