Disabled parking bay

If you hold a valid Blue Badge and are having difficulties parking close to your home, you can apply for a disabled parking bay if you:

• have no off-street parking, such as a garage or driveway
• are the driver or the driver lives with you.

Anyone with a valid Blue Badge can park in these bays without a time limit. They are not reserved for the applicant. As disabled parking bays are provided for anybody with a Blue Badge, the council cannot take action against other disabled drivers who choose to park in ‘your’ bay.

This service is currently free. We will send out a written decision when the application has been assessed.

If a vehicle is parked in a bay without a valid Blue Badge clearly displayed, you can report this to our control room on 01753 551018. They will visit the area to see if a Penalty Charge Notice can be issued.
