Temporary Blue Badge for six months
Look at the provision of a temporary blue badge for people who are recovering from an operation which has caused them issues with their mobility.
Why is this important?
My husband has recently had a knee replacement operation and was refused a blue badge as his condition is not permanent. When visiting our GP he has been in pain and discomfort getting from the car to the surgery. Parking in a regular space makes getting out of the car with crutches difficult due to the restricted space. I feel he has been discriminated against as he is struggling at the moment as much as someone with a permanent disability.
