The Blue Badge Scheme

The Blue (formerly Orange) Badge Scheme provides a national arrangement of on-street parking concessions enabling people with severe walking difficulties who travel either as drivers or passengers to park close to their destinations.

The Scheme is administered by local authorities who deal with applications and issue badges. The Department of Transport has produced an explanatory booklet explaining the Scheme in more detail, including the full eligibility criteria and parking concessions available to badge holders.
