Haringey Council has taken legal action against two individuals for misusing Blue Badges, issuing fines after evidence revealed their fraudulent behavior. One offender, living in Holloway, was fined 1,240 after it was proven they used two different, reported lost or stolen Blue Badges in restricted areas. Another individual, residing in Nelson, Lancashire, was fined 800 after failing to respond to inquiries regarding their misuse of a stolen Blue Badge. Council officials emphasize the importance of enforcing rules to protect genuine Blue Badge holders and ensure fair access to parking resources.
Cllr Seema Chandwani emphasized that Blue Badge holders deserve independence and that misusing or stealing badges prevents those in need from accessing essential parking services.
