During a meeting of the council’s Wellbeing and Finance Overview and Scrutiny Panel, officers were grilled over what changes had been made and the status of its review. The review is taking place after a number of parents and carers of people with hidden disabilities had their applications for Blue Badges rejected.
Ollie Sirrell, former Local Democracy Reporter for Bracknell Forest, was called as a witness, following his extensive contact with applicants for people with hidden disabilities who failed to acquire badges. Mr Sirrell revealed that out of 144 Blue Badge applications for those with hidden disabilities in Bracknell Forest between August 2019 and August 2020, only 50 were granted. 69 applications were refused, with the remaining 25 requests not completed or not decided.
