She was given the fine in the two minutes she says it took for her to walk to get a ticket

Gabrielle was told she had ‘failed the attitude test’ She said: ‘I’m sure it’s appropriate to actually allow any person at least three minutes to purchase their ticket, and blue badge holders 15 minutes.’‘I will be appealing it and reporting it to the council – and I would like an apology and action taken against [the wardens’] behaviour.

‘There is an appeal process that can be followed, details of which are on the rear of the ticket that was issued. We will be investigating this matter further.’Blue Badge parking permits let disabled drivers and passengers park in designated disabled spaces. You automatically qualify for a blue badge if you are blind, receive a war pensioner’s mobility supplement or the higher rate of the mobility component of the disability living allowance.One such reason that you have qualify is if you have a permanent and severe disability which means you cannot walk or can only walk with severe difficulty.

Generally children under the age of two are not eligible for a blue badge, as they are expected to use a pushchair at that age.Certain children under the age of three may be eligible if they have a disability due to a medical condition and need to travel with bulky equipment or be close to a vehicle for emergency medical treatment.

Family members are allowed to use the blue badge as long as they are present with the disabled relative; using it without them present can result in a criminal conviction and a fine of more than £1,000.
