Blue Badge Cracking down on Blue Badge fraud The Blue Badge scheme enables over two million people with severe walking disabilities to park in restricted areas around the UK and when travelling throughout any other EU country.

If you have a Blue Badge, you can park for up to 3 hours on a single or double yellow line and in some boroughs, including Haringey, you can park for free and for any length of time in resident permit bays and pay and display areas.

For thousands of disabled people in Haringey, the Blue Badge is a lifeline. Without it, many people would find it difficult to go to the shops, visit the doctor or see friends and family.

But many disabled Haringey residents are often stopped from using parking spaces intended for them because of Blue Badge fraudsters who use fake or cancelled badges or a badge belonging to someone else.

Haringey Council is working with the Metropolitan Police to tackle Blue Badge fraud in our borough through Operation Bodmin. In Green Lanes officers confiscated three Blue Badges and two vehicles were towed away. In Tottenham cancelled badges were confiscated and fraudsters’ cars towed away.

To tackle the theft of Blue Badges from disabled drivers’ vehicles when parked outside their homes in our borough, we have introduced the Companion Badge. The badge incorporates the vehicle registration number so that it can’t be used on any other vehicle, and would be of no value to anyone other than the legitimate holder of a Blue Badge.

The cost of Blue Badge fraud is huge. Taking 100 fraudulent Blue Badges off the streets over a year could save councils more than £500,000, according to a recent estimate. So, Operation Bodmin could save Haringey money as well as creating more space for disabled people to park in.
