Blue badges

If you can't walk very far to or from your car, you might be eligible for a blue badge. Whether you are a driver, passenger or have a disabled child, you can usually park for free, and for as long as you need, at on-street parking meters and pay-and-display machines. However, always make yourself aware of local parking arrangements. Do not assume that parking is always free for holders of a Blue Badge.
