Disabled Persons' Parking (Blue Badge Scheme)

There is no automatic renewal of a badge, all badge holders must re-apply for their badge before the old badge expires.

All other applications are treated as a new assessment.

Responsibility rests with the badge holder to re-apply in good time before their current badge expires. We will however write to you reminding you of the need to re-apply 6 weeks before your badge is due to expire. An application form and return envelope will be enclosed. This should allow sufficient time for us to process the badge and dispatch to you, however to ensure no complications we would ask that you complete the paperwork promptly

If the application does not come under the automatic qualification criteria for issuing a blue badge (see, Who Can Apply for a Blue Badge) a part of the form will need to be completed by your GP.

Photos can be reused, however, we would suggest you get a new photograph as you would be without your current badge while your application is being processed.
