Blue Badge Fraud Investigation Update
Decision Maker: Environment, Transport & Sustainability Committee
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Purpose:
This report provides an update on Blue Badge
investigation following a successful joint bid with East Sussex
County Council.
That accounted for 2 officers (one for B&H and an officer at
ESCC) dealing with Blue badge misuse investigation and also police
support.
This allowed projects such as Operation Bluebird where a joint
collaboration ensured blue badge misuse was investigated and acted
on in a proportionate way, protecting disabled concessions and
parking revenue, in the case of B&H this has initially centred
on the Hove area.
The report also outlines possible ways forward to develop the
service following the successes and national recognition this has
received.
Decision:
1) That the Committee notes the update provided.
2) That the Committee notes the possible ways forward to develop the service outlined in para 6.2 and requests the Acting Executive Director to investigate the possibilities and resources available during the current service redesign in Transport.
