Bedford Borough Council takes fraud very seriously and are committed to protecting public funds and services from fraud and abuse.
Blue Badge fraud directly affects some of the most vulnerable people in Bedford Borough, those with disabilities and/or mobility issues.
When a physically able person uses a Blue Badge to park in an area reserved for a Blue Badge holder, genuine Blue Badge users may not be able to find parking within a manageable distance of the place they are trying to go.
