Blue Badges and Special Access Permits

Blue Badge Scheme 

Blue Badges allow vehicles carrying people with certain disabilities to be parked near shops, stations and other facilities.

 Blue Badges are issued to individual people not vehicles. This means you can use a Blue Badge both as a driver and a passenger. You can also transfer your Blue Badge to whichever vehicle you are using for a particular journey.

The Blue Badge is recognised throughout the UK and Europe.

Please visit the Nottinghamshire County Council website (Opens in a New Window) for more information on the scheme. 

You can apply online for a Blue Badge on the government's website. (Opens in a New Window) 

Blue Badge holders can have free parking in Pay & Display car parks in Broxtowe. Please ensure both the blue badge and time clock set to the time of arrival are clearly displayed in the vehicle.
