Blue Badge

Share this on Facebook, Twitter, and Google Plus.

A Blue Badge allows some disabled people to park closer to their destination, as they are less able to walk long distances or take public transport.

This does not include temporary conditions that are likely to get better in the 3 years the badge is issued for.

Who can get a Blue Badge

The Department for Transport is responsible for giving guidance on who can get a Blue Badge. You can find more information about eligibility on GOV.UK.
