Disabled parking

There are two schemes for disabled drivers:

  • Blue Badge/Disabled person's permit
  • Disabled person's parking bay

Blue Badge/Disabled person's permit

The Blue Badge scheme allows disabled and blind people to park closer to shops and amenities. This means the permit holder can drive or be driven to areas within towns and cities where parking is restricted.

Disabled parking bays

If you are disabled, and have problems parking close enough to your home, you can apply for a disabled person's parking bay.

You need to have a valid Blue Badge (disabled person's parking permit) to apply. There is a cost for the application: £30. This is non-refundable cost for processing the application; you will not get this back, even if we turn down your request.

Is the disabled person's parking bay just for the person whose house it is outside?

No. The bay can be used by any Blue Badge holder.
