Jennifer Moore was found guilty of the fraud charge in her absence after she failed to turn up to a hearing at Manchester Magistrates' Court on Wednesday October 28. She was fined £525 with £392 costs along with a £15 victims of crime surcharge.
A member of Manchester City Council's blue badge team spotted the badge, displayed on the dashboard of Moore's Vauxhall, parked on Harter Street in May. They examined the badge, discovering it had been issued to her father and expired at the end of 2003.
Meanwhile, Sandra Monahan, from Openshaw, pleaded guilty to fraudulent use of a blue badge.
She was fined £270 with £150 costs and a £15 victim of crime surcharge.
A City Council officer spotted the badge displayed on the dashboard of Monahan's Ford, as it was parked on Charlotte Street in April, and discovered it had been issued to her father William, who died several years ago. Monahan later admitted she had altered the badge's expiry date.
