A Blue Badge is not a licence to park anywhere. If you park where it would cause an obstruction or danger to other road users you could be fined or receive a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) or have your vehicle removed. If you park in a bay, the vehicle must be within the markings – any vehicle not parked within the markings will receive a PCN.

Parking guidelines to display your blue badge

Make sure of the following when displaying your Blue Badge –

  • display the correct side of your badge, this is the side with the expiry date

  • position your badge so it is clearly visible from the outside of the vehicle and is not hidden by window shading

  • do not park in a prohibited space, such as on single or double yellow lines where there is a loading restriction in force or within a loading bay

  • set the time of arrival on your time clock if you park on a single or double yellow lines

  • do not park partially on single or double yellow lines and partially within a parking place

Failure to display correctly may result in you being issued with a penalty charge notice.
