Councillor's Lamborghini Seen Parked in Disabled Bay
Labour party in Hounslow launches investigation after being shown photos
Councillor Farhaan Rehman's Lamborghini has been seen in a disabled parking spot on at least two occasions
November 22, 2025
A Lamborghini belonging to a Hounslow councillor has been pictured parking in disabled spaces at the council offices, apparently without a blue badge on display.
Hounslow Labour has told the Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS) it is investigating photos that show a light blue Lamborghini Urus SE SUV parked at Hounslow House civic centre, which belongs to Labour Hounslow Heath Councillor Farhaan Rehman.
The pictures relate to two separate instances where the car was parked in different disabled spaces. No finding of fault has yet been made against Cllr Rehman, and the Labour councillor has not responded to requests for comment from the LDRS.
While the parking spaces are owned and managed by Hounslow Council, the local authority said it was a matter for Hounslow Labour. However, if a general member of the public was caught parking in a disabled bay in the borough without a blue badge, it would be a matter for the council and they could face a fixed penalty notice of £160.
The Labour investigation comes only one week after the LDRS revealed that Hounslow Council had fined a single-mum and mental health nurse, Loretta Alvarez, £1,000 for ‘fly-tipping’ an envelope when her council bins were full. She told the LDRS that, if Cllr Rehman had parked in the bays himself without a blue badge, it would make her feel as if elected officials conduct themselves differently than other members of the public are expected to act.
She said: “It [would make] you think, there clearly is a hierarchy, [it would make me feel that] he thinks he can get away with it, and probably can because he’s a councillor. But me, a normal person, getting on, paying my bills, I’d have to pay that.”
Councillor Farhaan Rehman
Jack Emsley is the Conservative councillor for Chiswick Homefields. He told the LDRS he believes Cllr Rehman should be deselected as a Labour candidate ahead of the 2026 local elections, if he is found to have breached parking rules.
He said, “Given the misery Hounslow Labour have caused residents in Chiswick, where they have raked in millions of pounds from PCNs for parking and traffic offences, I expect they will take a similar zero-tolerance approach to Cllr Rehman and dump him as a Labour candidate in next year’s elections [if they find he is at fault]. Anything less would be an appalling double standard of one rule for Hounslow Labour councillors, and another for everyone else.”
