Experimental Blue Badge Parking Bays Consultation
Following the Council’s consultation about city centre access for Blue Badge holders, 5 new experimental parking bays are available from 21 May 2024 for Blue Badge holders to park in, and businesses to load from.
The bays have been created where previously there were double yellow lines. On them, business could load and Blue Badge holders could park for up to 3 hours.
The new bays now allow loading from 6.00am to 10.30am, and Blue Badge holders can park in them for any length of time between 10.30am and 6.00am the following morning (or from 5.00pm for the bays on Davygate). Business cannot load in the bays outside their allotted times and Blue Badge holders cannot park in them during loading hours.
Take part in the Experimental Blue Badge Parking Bays Consultation.
