Parking for Blue Badge holders

If you are a Blue Badge holder, you are entitled to park for free anywhere there is legal on-street parking. This includes our on-street parking bays.

Parking in council-run car parks

We offer up to three hours of free parking in any council-run car park (unless otherwise stated on the car park sign). The only exception to this is Beaulieu Station car park A, which has free disabled parking all day.

You should clearly display a valid disabled person’s badge and time clock, or we will issue a parking fine (Penalty Charge Notice).

After three hours, you will need to move your vehicle, or pay for your extended stay. Otherwise, we will issue a parking fine (Penalty Charge Notice).

If the car park is privately operated, you will need to check to see what the owner allows.
