What are we doing to reform the scheme
A comprehensive Blue Badge Reform Strategy was published on 20 October 2008, following a public consultation (between January – April 2008) and a robust programme of research, economic analysis and stakeholder engagement. See “Research” section for copies of reports on market research with Badge holders, general public focus groups and analysis of our consultation responses.
The Strategy document, which is available to view below, contains the most significant reforms to the disabled parking regime since the introduction of the Scheme in 1971.
The Department’s progress in implementing the commitments in the Strategy will be monitored and supported by a high level steering group, drawn from disability organisation, the police and retailers.
