Blue badge parking permit

Where to park with your blue badge

On-street parking bays

Park free of charge with your blue badge at the following city centre locations:

  • designated disabled parking bays without a time limit (except on Gentlemans Walk). You do not need to display your clock. See where blue badge parking bays are in the city centre.
  • single or double yellow lines for up to three hours, as long as there are no loading restrictions and the vehicle is not causing an obstruction. The clock on your badge must be set to show your time of arrival.
  • on-street pay and display parking bays without a time limit. You do not need to display your clock.
  • limited waiting bays without a time limit. You do not need to display your clock.

Off-street car park spaces (council operated)

If you have difficulty using our ticket machines, we offer a 'pay after you park'  scheme in selected pay and display car parks.
