Hi Susie,

I successfully applied for a Blue Badge last year at the suggestion of family and friends.

I didn’t want to think that I had reached that stage in my life but realised what an advantage the badge could be. I have problems getting out of the car at times and need to be able to open the door wide, which a blue badge space allows.
