All because their owners are too lazy to walk a few extra yards, but what I find really ironic is that a number of them tend to be dressed in GYM gear !
These supermarkets are quick enough to issue parking tickets to those that over stay the set time limit but not blue badge violators - I suppose it’s because they can’t do it by remote cameras.

the 4x4 could be owned by someone fit and well but if their passenger warrants a blue badge one can be issued but and it is a big but, the passenger (blue badge holder) must get in and out of the car, if they don't...... no need for blue badge.
I would say report offences.
just a word of caution. my mum was ill and required a blue badge.
I parked in blue badge space, took her into the hospital and then went and moveed the car to a normal space. what was seen? a fit person going to a car in a blue badge space and driving off.
After her appointment I'd go and get the car, park in blue badge space then go into the hospital and get her. what was seen? A fit person parking in a blue badge space and walking off.
why did I do it this way, cos it was raining and a 5 minute walk to normal car park
