Disabled Persons Parking Bays

Dudley Council has in previous financial years provided Disabled Parking Spaces outside applicants’ homes by Traffic Regulation Order (TRO). This, in effect, reserves part of the public highway for the specific use of an individual who is disabled. 

Unfortunately funding is no longer available at the present time, therefore further disabled parking bays cannot be provided.

I am a blue badge holder and have difficulty parking outside my home. Can you help me?

At the present time there is no funding available for the Council to provide disabled parking bays.

Are these bays enforceable and if so, who by? 

The disabled parking bays are legally enforceable as they are made by TRO. This means that the bays are enforceable by the police. 

I have a disabled parking bay outside my current home – but I am moving house in a few weeks, what do I do? 

You need to inform us that that you no longer require the use of the bay. If there is no other blue badge holder living in the immediate vicinity who meet the criteria and could utilise the bay, we will arrange to have the bay removed.

I want to complain about abuse of a disabled parking bay in my road – is this possible? 

Yes – it is important to us that we receive notification of any abuse of the disabled parking bay scheme. We will investigate the matter and instigate the appropriate action to be taken. Please contact us using the details below.

I have a disabled parking bay but my permit has expired - I need to keep the bay, what do I do? 

Please inform Traffic and Road Safety as soon as possible so that a new permit can be issued to you.
