Blue Badge Holders
 

The Blue Badge Scheme provides on-street parking concessions for badge holders who travel either as drivers or passengers.

When making use of the parking concessions available under the scheme, badge holders must display the badge on top of the dashboard or facia panel of a vehicle with the front of the badge (that is, the side showing the wheelchair-user symbol) facing forward so that the relevant details are able to be read from outside of the vehicle.

• Locations of disabled parking bays can be found on our accessibility website.
• All information on use of a ‘blue badge’ can be found here.
• Information about the 'blue badge' scheme or to make an application for a badge, visit here.

Unless otherwise indicated, you should not drive in a bus lane during its period of operation.
