Blue badge scheme - concessionary parking

The scheme provides a national arrangement of parking concessions for people with severe walking difficulties who either travel as drivers or passengers. 

The scheme, which is intended to allow badge holders to park close to their destination, also applies to registered blind people and people who drive regularly, have a severe disability in both arms and are unable to operate, or have considerable difficulty in operating all or some types of parking meter.

Organisations who care for disabled people can apply for organisational badges, which provide the same parking concessions as an individual badge.     

If you think that you are eligible for a blue badge then you may also be eligible for a Gold Card. Gold Card (opens in a new window) is the travel and discount scheme for over 60's and disabled people in Derbyshire.
