The theft and abuse of blue badges is on the increase.
Link.
Is this a major issue and should we be doing more to prevent it locally?
Personally I think it is heavily abused to a greater extent than we are told and this annoys me greatly.
Is there a method of reporting perceived abuse locally?

Theft and abuse??

Precisely.
I have an acquaintance who was a Parking Officer in Reading who says the abuse is more around 50%.
Mainly people using the badge when the person it applies to is not with them and even people using that of a deceased person.
As Blackdog says, is someone who leaps out of a car and is more mobile than me either in need of the badge, or are they abusing it?
Parking is a big issue for many motorists. A blue badge is worth a lot of money and convenience in saved fees and wider, reserved spaces. If abuse is as high as is thought then, yes, it annoys me.
