The Companion Badge parking permit was introduced to tackle the theft of Blue Badges from disabled drivers’ vehicles when parked outside their home. The council has introduced virtual permits to replace paper permits, and as a part of this change the Companion Badge permit has been replaced by a new free Resident Blue Badge holder permit.
