About the blue badge scheme
The blue badge scheme provides a national arrangement of parking concessions for people with severe walking difficulties who travel either as drivers or passengers. The scheme allows badge holders to park close to their destination, but the national concessions apply only to on-street parking.
There is no charge for blue badges in Wales.
The majority of our car parks offer disabled parking bays. They allow blue badge holders to park as close to their destination as possible (see ‘Where are the car parks, below).
A penalty charge notice may be issued if a valid badge is not displayed.
Using badges illegally carries a maximum penalty of £1000. Blue badge holders should not park on double yellow lines.
How long can I park?
Holders of a blue badge can park free for an unlimited time in any marked bay within the council’s car parks (this includes parking in either a disabled bay or a standard bay), as long as your blue badge is clearly displayed.
