Blue Badge Holders

Blue Badge holders may park in any bay in the car parks, although most car parks include some designated bays for Blue Badge holders. Provided that a valid badge is clearly displayed with the time of arrival indicated on the accompanying clock, the vehicle may park free of charge for up to three hours. As resources allow, the Council intends to improve facilities for disabled people at its car parks, by improving the standard and number of disabled parking bays.
