Misuse of a Blue Badge

Your Blue Badge is the property of Peterborough City Council and can be taken away if it is being misused.  You should read the Rights and Responsibilities booklet sent to you with your badge to ensure you know when and how you can use your badge

The important things to remember are:

  • the badge is for your use only
  • you must be a passenger or driver of the vehicle at all times when a Blue Badge is on display
  • you cannot let someone else use your badge to get free or better parking
  • carers cannot use the badge even when carrying out business on your behalf

Misuse of a Blue Badge by you or another person is a criminal offence, which can carry a fine of up to £1,000 and the immediate withdrawal of the badge.
