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. We no longer install disabled parking signs or posts.

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.

Where disabled bays cannot be installed

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.
