Change the law to allow short-term Blue Badges

Closed 96 signatures

What the petition asks

Government should consider temporary mobility problems such as hip replacement, broken ankles and knee injuries and change the law so that GPs can issue short term Blue Badges.
I believe that many patients with sudden temporary mobility problems are being unfairly treated.
