Great parking news for blue badge holders

If you are a blue badge holder living in Denbighshire, you will now be able to park in the Council’s public car parks for an additional hour.

We are granting the additional hour on top of the expiry time printed on your pay and display ticket.

The extra hour is deemed as a “reasonable adjustment” under the Equality Act 2010 and has also been implemented by some other councils who charge blue badge holders for parking.

Civil enforcement officers working in a car park will allow an additional hour to the time displayed.

It is not essential for blue badge holders to park in a disabled bay to receive the extra hour. The majority of blue badge holders usually park in disabled bays as there are usually spaces available and they are generally located closer to pedestrian accesses. However if there are no spaces and they need to park in other parking bays, the additional hour will still be applicable.

We look forward to getting this scheme underway and will be monitoring its success.
