Disabled parking-bays and permits

Disabled parking permit - the Blue Badge

The Blue Badge disabled parking scheme allows disabled and registered blind people to park closer to shops and amenities, in areas where parking is restricted. Blue Badge holders may be drivers or passengers.

A valid Blue Badge must be correctly displayed whenever a vehicle is parked in a disabled bay. Failure to correctly display a valid Blue Badge may result in a penalty charge notice being issued.

Kent County Council is responsible for the administration and issue of Blue Badges for Shepway residents.

Disabled parking bays

If you have a Blue Badge and severe mobility difficulties you can apply to have a disabled person's parking space marked on the road outside your home or within your shared residents' car park.

A disabled parking bay is not exclusive to the person for whom it has been provided. Anyone with a valid Blue Badge can park in a disabled bay.

 If you wish to apply for a disabled bay, please read the notes and complete the application form below.
