A joint day of action took place on 21 January tackling abuse of blue badges, unlicensed drivers, untaxed and non-insured vehicles, and other issues where people fail to respect Lewes, say East Sussex County Council.
119 blue badges were inspected, and of those two will be receiving warning letters about correct use of the badge, and a further 20 are being investigated by the Blue Badge team. Three badges were seized for being misused.
Other interesting aspects of the day's exercise are outside the scope of this blog.
There are approximately 30,000 blue badges in the county. The badges cost the applicant £2. The cost of producing a blue badge is around £24 and fraudulent badges have been known to sell for up to £2,000.
Three action days were recently conducted in Hastings and Eastbourne, which were "very successful" and well received by the public on the day.
