More people exploiting their relatives' Blue Badge disabled parking permits have been named and shamed by Bromley Council.

Following an ongoing campaign to crack down and prevent the misuse of disability parking badges, the council is warning those breaking the rules.

Misusing the badge is counted as a criminal offence which can lead to a £1,000 fine and confiscation of the permit.

Councillor Kate Lymer, Bromley’s executive councillor for public protection and enforcement, said: “If you are driving on behalf of a Blue Badge holder as a relative, friend or carer, please make sure you use the badge in accordance with the scheme rules.

"Our officers are required to be vigilant in their daily checks and anyone caught misusing a badge will face prosecution, with a criminal conviction, fine and publicity which follows.”

The 11 drivers who were caught displaying a Blue Badge when the holder was not present were:

Alexis Lovell, of Viney Road, Lewisham - Fined £230 and ordered to pay costs of £250 and a surcharge of £30 – total £510

Samantha Briley, of Homelands Place, Biggin Hill - £734

Graham Cocks, of Farmfield Road, Downham - £573

Colton Belgrave, of Greyhound Road, Tottenham - £573

Avtar Aydee, of The Glade, Shirley - £647

Craig Storrie, of Redland Road, Barnsley - £573

Simone Valentine, of Arica Road, Brockley - £573

Inderjeet Singh-Teek, of Carden Road, Nunhead - £514

Jacques Hildenbrand, of Grail Road, Catford - £360

Marie McLean, of Knights Hill, West Norwood - £520

The council has withheld the name of an Orpington parent who was also caught - £367

All offences took place between May 24 and August 15 last year.
