Where you can park with a disabled badge

Information on the conditions where you can use your disabled parking badge

Find your nearest disabled Blue Badge bay(link is external)

You must display both your White and Blue Badge while parking or driving.

Your badge details should be clearly visible. If you fail to display your badges, you may be issued a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN).

If a protected characteristic listed in the Equality Act 2010 or another condition makes it difficult for you to challenge or pay your PCN, we will be happy to consider what reasonable adjustments we can make to assist.

To request an adjustment please email: parkingservices@westminster.gov.uk(link sends email) or call our Parking Services Team on 0207 823 4567.
