Blue Badge scheme

The Blue Badge parking scheme is a service that allows people with disabilities or health conditions to park closer to their destination.

The scheme is available in England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. To apply for a blue badge, you need to meet certain eligibility criteria, such as having a permanent or substantial disability that affects your mobility, or receiving certain benefits.

The application process may vary depending on where you live and what evidence you need to provide. The blue badge costs up to £10 in England, charges are different in other parts of the United Kingdom. They usually last up to three years.
