What do you think about the Blue Badge system for accessibility parking for people with reduced mobility?

Hi everyone,

The mobility of many disabled people or people with reduced mobility is dependent on the need to be able to park as close as possible to their place of residence and/or their destination. This right to mobility is achieved through the use of a Blue Badge distributed by your local council for parking.

The schemes can be different depending on the area and the city. Blue Badge usually lets you park for free on streets with parking meters, in disabled parking bays, and on single/double yellow lines. You can also ask your local council for a disabled parking space near your home. Having a Blue Badge doesn’t let you park anywhere - you still have to follow the usual parking regulations.
