NEARLY three months after the 88 years young war veteran applied to renew his blue disabled badge he received his new one today (March 23) and at last he can now get out and about without fear of a parking ticket or fine. Although he now has his badge he did he not receive so much as an apology for the delay plus the new badge is dated from February 21 (a month ago) which means it is already a month old before he has even received it. Is this really the best the county council can do? If so something is wrong.
