We do not issue Blue Badges.
Essex County Council are responsible for Blue Badges in our district.
You can find out how to apply, renew and pay for your Blue Badge on their website.
Parking using a Blue Badge
If you have a Blue Badge, you can park in any of our pay and display car parks.
There are especially wide designated bays in some car parks although Blue Badge holders can use any normal parking bays if they want to.
You must clearly display your Blue Badge in the windscreen of your vehicle while you are parked.
On street parking using a Blue Badge
If you park on a yellow line in the street, you can usually stay for up to three 3 hours, providing the vehicle is not causing an obstruction.
You should not park in a controlled parking zone unless you are parked in a disabled bay.
You must clearly display your Blue Badge in the windscreen of your vehicle while you are parked.
