Dedicated parking bays for Blue Badge holders

You may be able to apply for your own disabled parking bay if:

  • there is no other parking within a reasonable walking distance of your home or workplace
  • you are a Blue Badge holder and you can't walk more than 20 metres (you may need a medical assessment first).

If your application is successful, it can take up to six months to install a bay. This is because we must consult local people first. After that, there are a number of legal documents for us to draw up and complete before we can install the bay.
