Blue Badges and Scam Bingo

BBC Radio Ulster - On Your Behalf, Blue Badges and Scam Bingo

Parking for Blue Badge holders and improving scam awareness among over 65s. 

Listener Rebecca got in touch after getting a parking ticket. She’s a Blue Badge holder and after struggling to find a suitable parking space in Belfast, thought she was safe to park in a loading bay. She checked the rules online and left to enjoy an evening out. She returned to find a ticket and contacted On Your Behalf when her appeals were denied. Nuala Toman of Disability Action and IMTAC’s Dermot Devlin discuss what needs to be done to improve parking options for Blue Badge holders.
Sue Holderness (Marlene Boyce, Only Fools & Horses) recounts her experience of being scammed and highlights a new Scam Bingo game aimed at increasing scam awareness among over 65s. Victim Support NI CEO Janice Bunting explains what support and advice is available for victims of crime.
