Two people have been fined for mis-using Blue Badges after parking in disabled bays on the same street.
Durham County Council took legal action against Karen Summerbell and Jamie Leigh after they were both observed using Blue Badges which did not belong to them or their passengers. Now both have been ordered to pay over £500 each after pleading guilty to mis-using a Blue Badge.
Summerbell and Leigh were both caught after parking in a disabled bay on Waldon Street in Hartlepool.
