PARKING ENFORCEMENT - BLUE BADGE HOLDERS

Blue Badge

How will Disabled Blue Badge Holders be affected?

Blue Badge drivers must always display their disabled badge.

If you wish to use a Blue Badge to park on-street:

  • You must not cause an obstruction – either at a junction or where the vehicle would significantly prevent traffic from moving along a road.
  • The Blue Badge and the clock showing the time of arrival must be displayed.
  • You must not park where a loading or unloading ban is in operation.
  • A time limit of 3 hours applies if you park on single or double yellow lines.
  • You may park free of charge and without time limit in any on-street Pay & Display bay, limited waiting bay or disabled person’s bay.
  • You may not use a Blue Badge to park in any other designated user bay, e.g. loading bay, residents parking bay, bus stop clearway, Police, Taxi, Ambulance or Doctors bay.

Note: A Blue Badge does not entitle the badge holder to park in a private road or private car park. For full terms and conditions of use, please refer to the Guidelines issued by the Department for Transport.
