Derby City Council admits 2,500 people face waits up to 20 weeks for their disabled parking permit.
By Jennifer McKiernanA man has decribed his frustration at being forced to wait months to have his blue badge renewed.
Mr Jones, 71, said: "It's absolutely disgraceful and there must be hundreds of disabled drivers in the same position."I've got rights as a disabled person, and I would have thought a disabled driver's disc to help me get out and about would be essential." A Derby City Council spokeswoman said officers were now in touch with Mr Jones and were "taking steps to process his application".
