Parking For Blue Badge Holders
Again, I repeat - No, they don't.

Parking on Yellow Lines
Nearside/offside parking for Blue Badge holders is allowed on yellow lines as long as:
  • you do not cause an obstruction,
  • there are no loading restrictions, and
  • you do not park for longer than 3 hours.

Well, whadya know - the very same website you claim to have quoted from.

You cannot just pull up anywhere and bung your blue badge in the window and stay for 3 hours. If you are causing an obstruction or if there are loading restrictions you are committing an offence.

Anyone with a blue badge ought to know this and if they didn't they do now. Although many, like you choose to ignore the first two bullet points (which I have emphasised in red) and insist on following only the latter and then complain if they 'get done'.
