Barnet Blue Badge fraud
Barnet a hot spot for lost and stolen disabled badges...but a woeful response. More blue disabled badges were lost or stolen in Barnet last year than in any other London borough, but the latest government statistics show the council’s efforts to enforce the law against misuse are way behind that of some neighbouring local authorities.
