A disabled person's parking space can be painted on the road near your house if you have a taxed vehicle registered at your address and no access to off-street parking.

Once the bay is painted anyone displaying a valid Blue Badge can park in it. You may be fined up to £100 if you do not display a Blue Badge when using a disabled parking space. The penalty for misuse of a Blue Badge (using a stolen Blue Badge, Badge holder not being present when Badge is being used, etc.) is £1000.

If you have a disabled person's parking space near your home that is no longer needed let us know. Once reported it can take up to 8 weeks for removal.

If you have off street parking and are having trouble accessing it because of parked vehicles you can apply for an Access Protection Marking. 

Process for installation

• Once we receive your application we will visit your property to check if the marking is suitable and it is safe to provide one. If it is we will agree the location of the parking space with you. 
• We will paint the space on the road. This can take up to 8 weeks. 
• We will begin the process to make the space legally enforceable. We will ask if there are any objections from your local community. Until it is legally enforceable the space is 'advisory only'.
• Please note that we process new disabled bays in large batches 2 or 3 times a year so your parking space may take a few months to be legally enforceable. Once it is legally enforceable it is an offence for someone to park in, or encroach on the disabled space if they do not have a valid Blue Badge (up to £100 fine).
