What is it?

The Blue Badge scheme is a national scheme for local people who have severe walking difficulties, regularly drive but are unable to turn the steering wheel by hand, or are registered blind. It allows them to park legally, close to places they need to visit such as shops and public buildings.

Blue Badge holders can also park free in some pay and display car parks and on single and double yellow lines in most streets for up to three hours.
