Introduction
How it works
A Blue Badge helps you to park close to your destination, either as a passenger or driver.
A badge holder can park for free:
- in allocated disabled bays and on the road
- in any car park for the maximum stay (in line with its terms and conditions)
- on single or double yellow lines (up to 3 hours)
