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.
