Yorkshire, where I live, has a hosepipe ban as from today. Except I am exempt, I have a Blue badge. I have BB, not complaining, but why exempt? Why would a BB user, have any more need to use a hosepipe, than a none BB owner?

I suppose most of them shouldn't be able to carry a watering can full of water...probably

I think that WAS the reason. BB holders are unlikely to have much to need to water.

I want to see a picture of the blue badge being displayed when watering the garden. Does the time need to be set, when you start to water?
A really big badge so helicopters can see it?

Obvious trolling, Reported
So that means HW is exempt then cos I suspect his hose is a short oneGB news also suggested short hoses are also exempt
I don't know, I've not found any wording. It was mentioned on the local TV news.
Found it - on the Yorkshire Water website
'Blue badge holders, those on Yorkshire Water’s Priority Services Register or WaterSure tariff for medical reasons, are also excluded from the restrictions.'

I'm also on my water company's PSR, but not sure why I am exempt, unless it's to do with struggling to carry round watering cans.
I must be too, I have just received a letter from them, indicating I am exempt from the ban.
Some disabilities call for lot of water , hot tubs for example are tariff free when imported as they qualify as medical equipment .
