Using your Blue Badge

Where you can park

You can use your Blue Badge in disabled parking bays and in some other parking places.

Rules can vary depending on where you park.

Find out where you can park with your Blue Badge.

Using your parking clock

You will be given a parking clock when you get your Blue Badge.

Use your parking clock when parking on yellow lines for up to 3 hours, unless there's a loading restriction in place.

Set the clock to show when you started parking and display it so it can be seen from outside the vehicle.

If you've lost your parking clock, you can request a replacement.

Using your Blue Badge in another vehicle

You can use your Blue Badge in any vehicle, as long as you are travelling in the vehicle or being picked up or dropped off.

You do not need to tell us if you change your vehicle or registration number.

Using your badge abroad

Different countries have different rules for using Blue Badges.

Check whether you can use your badge and what local restrictions apply before you travel abroad.

Find out when you can and cannot use your badge abroad (GOV.UK).

Returning your badge

You should return the Blue Badge if it has expired, is no longer needed, or the badge holder has died. Blue Badges must be returned to the issuing council.

If we issued the Blue Badge, post it to:
