Disabled Parking Badge
Scheme Details
The European Blue Parking Badge Scheme helps people who have
severely restricted mobility. The badge holder may be a driver or
passenger. A car displaying a Blue Badge is allowed to park closer
to shops and public buildings, for example in Disabled Parking Bays
or on double yellow lines.
If you carry a Blue Badge, you can also use any special local
parking facilities when you're visiting a member state of the
European Union.
Who can have a blue badge?
- Children and adults who are in receipt of the high rate
mobility component of the Disability Living Allowance
- People registered as blind under the National Assurance Act,
1948
- People in receipt of the War Pensions Mobility Supplement
OR
- People who have a permanent disability or illness that makes
walking very difficult may also be given a badge after an
assessment by a Social Worker or Occupational Therapist, or on
evidence provided by their doctor (GP)

When you receive your badge you will be given an information
leaflet about the badge and how to use it. It is important that you
read this leaflet carefully as it tells you about the ways in which
the Badge can't be used.
How long is the badge valid for?
Blue Badges usually cover a three year period, and after this
you can be reassessed. You may be asked to visit Ty Jenner for an
assessment.

We recommend that you contact us on 01446 700111 at least 5
weeks prior to the expiry date of your current badge to request a
