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 Ray 

    Years ago blue badge was for people who couldn't walk very well or at all but over the years it has relaxed a lot but it's mainly for people hue can't move around much on a permanent basis, i don't know if its changed but you usto need a letter from the Dr confirming why you kneed badge,, why do you want blue badge anyway, lve been uncurable prostate cancer for over 3 years don't kneed a badge....

  • Hi Billy...

    Having a blue badge is needed at lots of hospitals as it's at a reduced rate ... and when there most of the day having treatment, I don't know what I'd have done without mine ... there's no way I could have afforded to go so often without mine ... 

    And I don't think I'd get out much without it .. as can't stand very well waiting for bus ... I think anyone going through chemo should get one automatically...  it's great you can manage but lots of us can't ... 

    Fingers crossed you get one Ray ...  Chrissie x
