Dear Irfaan, At Keele the guidance is as follows: *Staff or Students who have been issued with the ‘blue badge’ in accordance with the national scheme for disabled drivers are authorized to use any designated disabled parking bays free of charge. No permit or ticket is required to be displayed in addition to the recognized ‘blue badge’ issued under the national scheme.* *Staff or students making application for issue of a ‘blue badge’ will be considered for issue of a Temporary Disabled Permit to enable the application process to be completed.* All the best, Hannah http://www.keele.ac.uk/athenaswan/ Hannah Barjat Athena SWAN Support Officer, University of Keele Email: [log in to unmask] Phone: 01782 733339 On 2 November 2015 at 16:49, Irfaan Arif <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Dear colleagues, > > > > At UEL, we are reviewing our parking provisions for both staff and > students and one of the areas of contention is charging disabled staff for > parking.
