Makes a lot of difference to going out, word of warning though always read the parking restrictions as the are not standard and they do change. A car park I had been using for years changed its rules so it was no longer free. Luckily a passerby brought it to my attention before I was fined.

That's great, it put me in mind to apply too, I've handed mine it too. Glad for you x

Absolutely wonderful news I am so pleased for you it will make such a difference to your life.

Betty's advice is good as the rules for parking can vary from car park to car park and from region to region so as she says always read the small print. Our local council had 2 hour parking near the town and I parked and for some reason noticed that they had changed it to 1 hour. As i was going to the hairdressers I hour would not have been enough so had to move the car but that was better than getting a fine.

Do hope you get alot of added enjoyment now to your trips out.x

Hi I need to apply for my blue badge and I've been told that as I got over 16 points I automatically get one. My question is tho if I automatically get it do I have to fill in every single question on the form? Plus if I apply online wot happens about the picture etc...

Sorry to be a pain with all these questions lol

Please can you tell me what the points are that people are referring to? Do you have to be in receipt of AAllowance to get a blue badge. I will be grateful of any advise as I am no longer able to go out with family as I would like as can't get out of car as the spaces are too narrow. Also, the parking is too far away from where I am going and am in pain by the time I get there.
