FOI Request - Blue Badge Refusals
Request 101003545010
In each of the past five years, how many applications for a disabled Blue Badge the council has received, and how many of these have been rejected.
Could this be broken down by year and, if possible, reason for rejection.
Response 02-05-2024
| Year | Applications | Refused |
| 2019 | 1546 | 77 |
| 2020 | 1044 | 49 |
| 2021 | 1398 | 77 |
| 2022 | 1693 | 112 |
| 2023 | 1817 | 117 |
Please note, we do not store the specific reason for rejection, but we could assume that they would not meet the National Criteria for award of a Blue Badge as defined by Transport Scotland.
