Stories in the media saying that war veteran Ben McBean has been refused a Blue Badge renewal are not correct.
We have contacted Mr McBean to help him resolve an issue caused when he submitted a renewal application under a different name, which meant his details were not recognised.
If he had submitted an application under the name on the current Blue Badge, it would have been renewed without issue.
Suggestions that the application was not processed for any other reason are not correct.
We are now helping Mr McBean renew his badge as soon as possible.
