If you have a blue badge, you can apply for a disabled parking bay to be marked outside your home or on your street. This is usually needed if you have problems parking close by. A disabled parking bay can be used by anyone with a blue badge.
You do not have to pay for this.
Before you start
Apply if:
- You have a valid blue badge
- You live at the address where you want the disabled parking
- You do not have access to off-street parking, for example a garage or driveway
- It is difficult to park near to your home.
Do not apply if:
- You live on a private road. We can only add a disabled parking bay to a public road
- The blue badge holder is the passenger and can be dropped off outside their home. Disabled parking bays are normally for drivers with a blue badge. We expect an able driver to ‘double park’ so the disabled passenger can get into and out of the car. Then the driver can go and find a suitable parking space.
- You have access to a driveway, garage or other off-street parking.
You will need
- Your blue badge number, expiry date and name of the issuing authority
- Registration number of the vehicle to be parked in the bay
- Vehicle registration document (V5C), sometimes called a log book, or proof of Motability vehicle
- Driving licence
- Photo of the front of the property (if you have one).
