Check you're eligible for a disabled parking bay

A disabled parking bay on a public road is marked in white with the word 'disabled' in front of it.

Only Blue Badge holders can park in disabled parking bays.

Eligibility

You can apply for a disabled parking bay if you:

do not already have a suitable parking facility such as a private parking bay, driveway or garage
are a resident living full time at a Medway address
have a Blue Badge registered to the same address
have regular use of a vehicle registered to the same address.

Any vehicle displaying a Blue Badge can use a disabled parking bay.

The application process takes around 3 months due to the number of requests we get.

If we can install a bay, you'll need to pay a £46 application fee.

Disabled parking bays cannot be installed in the following locations:

on private land (for example land maintained by a housing association or that is not a public road)
on a bend, brow of a hill, close to a junction, or within a turning area in use
where parking is not allowed in front of your address (such as marked bus stops, yellow lines or zig zags)
on a verge, speed hump or other uneven surface
where the road is too narrow
outside other residents’ houses (in most circumstances)
where you would need to cross a busy road to access the bay.
