Just got Thomas new Blue Badge.

It has a tamper evident Blue Badge seal now and also a holographic logo.  I may be behind the times here and you may all know this already but it is nice to see that something is being done to stop froud.  However I bet no one is actually doning any policing of it  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

I recently read an article saying that people are selling them on the blackmarket for upto £2000 so fraud is still very evident.
I think something else needs to be done such as registering the vechicle to the badge where possible and then have a portable badge for other occasions.

Blimey - that is a lot of money for a bigger car parking space!! We have got two - one each for the kids - and we often just leave them out on show in the car. Will have to be a bit more careful in the future I think if people can get all that for them!
