Blue Badge – What’s changing?
From 30 August, people with hidden disabilities will be granted access to the Blue Badge Parking scheme. The idea is that people with less obvious health conditions, such as dementia or autism, will have the same rights to park in disabled bays as those with physical disabilities. The new criteria will not be condition-specific; the presence of a non-physical condition will not, in itself, imply eligibility. It is expected that eligibility will only apply in limited circumstances; the changes are about seeking to ensure that
- nly those with the greatest needs have equal access to badges.
