Can I have a personalised parking bay where I live?

A personalised parking bay is provided outside or near a person's front door for their exclusive use if no off street parking is available.

You may qualify for a bay if you hold a disabled person's Purple badge and are unable to walk more than 50 metres. In exceptional circumstances applicants who do not meet the strict criteria may be found eligible.

Each parking bay is marked by an identity number which is also printed on your special permit. You must display this personalised permit, and your purple badge, in the vehicle when you are using the bay.

If you don't display your purple badge in the vehicle, showing the expiry date, you (or the driver if you are the passenger) may get a penalty charge notice (PCN), or the vehicle may be clamped or removed.You will then have to pay a release fee before the vehicle is released.
