Blue Badges

Blue Badges are for people with disabilities. A Blue Badge will help you to park close to your destination, either as a passenger or driver. The badge is intended for on-street parking only. A fee of £10 is payable for issuing the blue badge. Your fee will be refunded if your application is not successful.

Returning a Blue Badge

You must return the badge to the council if:

• your medical condition or mobility improves and you are no longer eligible
• a badge has been reported lost or stolen, a replacement has been issued, and then the original is found. In this case the original badge must be returned.
• the badge becomes damaged or faded and is illegible
• the badge is no longer required, for example if you're confined to the house

Please also note that the badge should be returned to the council on the death of the badge holder. If you continue to display the badge when you no longer need it you may be fined up to £1000.

Please send us the badge and explain the reason for its return, to the Concessionary Travel Team. Their address is at the bottom of this page.
