DisabledBadgeHolderParkingSign

 

The disabled person’s Blue Badge scheme allows people with severe walking difficulties, who travel either as drivers or passengers, to park for free in sign-posted on-street parking bays. It also applies to registered blind people, and drivers with very severe upper limb disabilities who cannot operate parking meters.

Lewisham Council are consulting on a proposal to charge a £10 fee for the issue, renewal and replacement of a Blue Badge.
