Blue Badges are easier to obtain in Bracknell Forest if you have a physical impairment than a non-visible disability, new data reveals
A BRACKNELL Forest resident has been handed a payout and an apology from the council following a row over a Blue Badge which caused him ‘frustration’ and ‘distress’.
The authority twice refused an application for the parking permit from the man, who said says he experiences overwhelming psychological distress in places like car parks and shopping centres.
Although the Local Government Ombudsman (LGO) did not fault Bracknell Forest Council for its decision, it did slam the authority for its responses to the man, who complained to the watchdog following the authority’s handling of his requests.
