Hi Lesley,

Blue badge holders are automatically eligible for a permit.  Non blue badge holders can apply for a temporary permit and the application form asks for a relevant professional (e.g. GP, Consultant or Physiotherapist) to support the application.  Details are on our web site at:

Hello

Do any of you have a policy (either written or unwritten) that give priority parking to those with mobility difficulties that do not qualify for a blue badge?  If so what is your policy?

Thanks

Lesley
