We are currently experiencing problems with payments for parking penalty charge notices online. You can still pay by calling the phone number on your PCN. If this affects your ability to pay within a deadline, please contact parking@swale.gov.uk
Disabled parking bays
Introduction to disabled parking bays
There are two types of disabled parking bay:
- enforceable which includes signage stating 'Disabled Badge Holders Only'
- advisory which doesn't include signage
We usually install advisory bays to begin with.
If there are continuous problems with drivers that don’t hold a blue badge parking in the bay, we may change it to an enforceable one instead.
Changing a disabled parking bay from advisory to enforceable can take up to 12 months. Once it’s changed we’ll put a sign up that allows us to enforce the bay.
Fees
There’s no charge for installing a disabled parking bay or removing an existing one.
Parking
A disabled parking bay isn’t just for you. Anyone with a blue badge can use a disabled parking bay.
How long it takes
It takes up to about three months to install a disabled parking bay or remove an existing one.
