“We have to work within the guidance set for us by the Department for Transport, which includes detailed guidance how eligibility should be assessed through evidence and assessments.
“As detailed on our website applicants must adequately evidence the difficulties they experience whilst walking, this applies to those reapplying for an expiring blue badge as well as first time applications.
“There is no renewal process, and applicants are required to evidence their ongoing eligibility with each application. Evidence could include letters, reports or details of treatment from a medical professional.
“Anyone requiring help with a blue badge application or who is unable to use the online application process can call the council’s Customer Service Centre on 0344 800 8020, and we would be happy to provide support and advice.”
