Blue badge

After reading Cancer Research UK’s website my wife contacted North Tyneside Council’s Blue Badge Team to enquire about a blue badge, as I have started a long course of chemotherapy for my incurable prostate cancer.  The council officer stated that I was not entitled to a blue badge and that the information on the Cancer Research UK website is incorrect.  She is going to look at the website herself!

  • Hi Ray46,

    Regardless of the cancer, if your mobility is affected you should apply. If it is refused, you have the right to ask for the application to be reviewed within 20 days of its refusal. You can read more on the North Tyneside council website here, if you haven't already, and Macmillan has some information too.

    Also thank you for your feedback on one of the Cancer Research UK pages, I have passed this onto the appropriate team who will check for any discrepancies. There are hundreds of pages of cancer information, so if you have this particular page to hand that would be useful. 

    Many thanks,
