Under certain circumstances, we can provide one of two types of disabled parking bay for Blue Badge holders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Normally found in town centres, these can also be placed in residential parking zones. The word ‘DISABLED’ is written alongside the bay, and a restriction plate showing the blue disabled symbol is mounted next to the bay. They are covered by a traffic regulation order, which can be enforced by a civil enforcement officer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Normally provided where parking is at a premium in a residential area not controlled by waiting restrictions. Advisory bays are marked with the word ‘DISABLED’, but they don\u2019t have a restriction plate showing the blue disabled symbol accompanying them. They can\u2019t be enforced and no action can be taken against anyone else who parks there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No bays can be provided solely for an individual – they are available for any Blue Badge Holder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In order to apply for a disabled parking bay:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We will normally only approve a bay where there is a known parking issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you are eligible, an initial assessment will be made by our Customer Service Centre to identify a suitable location for the bay. This will be subject to an on-site assessment to ensure that the bay can be safely and practically sited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If, after surveying the site it is found that a bay cannot be marked due to existing parking restrictions, road safety or traffic management issues you will be contacted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The marking of advisory bays can take 16 to 20 weeks. A formal mandatory bay can take 9 to 12 months due to the necessity for a traffic regulation order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
