Closed 46 signatures

What the petition asks

Following an injury or during recovery from surgery you may have limited mobility and so need some of the help a Blue Badge offers like access to disabled parking. Currently anyone anyone with "temporary" conditions like this do not qualify. A short term badge should be introduced.

Follow an accident my leg was badly broken. The doctors were able to save my leg but I now have a frame holding it together. I was rejected for a blue badge as i was told I could walk 100 meters on crutches. I had to appeal explaining that the frame was no guarantee I would recover and without it I would not be able to walk at all plus it's very painful. While in this condition I need access to disabled parking so I can open the car door fully when getting in and out.
