London man found using fake Blue Badge in Shrewsbury ordered to pay more than £2,000
A man from London has been ordered to pay more than £2,000 after being caught using a fake Blue Badge to park in a disabled bay in Shrewsbury.
A man has been ordered to pay more than £2,000 after using a fake Blue Badge in Shrewsbury, following a prosecution brought by Shropshire Council’s trading standards and parking enforcement team.
Bruce Fielding, from London, was charged with the misuse of a Blue Badge on March 23 this year.
Shropshire Council said the offence occurred when Fielding parked his vehicle in a disabled bay on St Mary’s Street, Shrewsbury, displaying a Blue Badge on the dashboard.
A Civil Enforcement Officer noticed irregularities with the badge — it appeared to be a copy, and the identification number indicated it had been issued to a woman born in 1922.
