Guide To Blue Badge Parking

There is no single national rule for residents’ bays. The national Blue Badge concessions do not automatically include resident-only bays; councils set local rules. Some allow Blue Badge parking in resident bays; others prohibit it. What this means: If your street is “Permit Holders Only” (or similar), check the sign and your council’s website. If resident bays aren’t listed among places Blue Badges can be used, you’ll likely need a resident permit/exemption or a dedicated disabled bay issued by the council.

Has the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 Been Replaced?

The Disability Discrimination Act 1995 has been replaced by the Equality Act 2010, but its spirit lives on. The Equality Act not only carried forward the protections of the DDA but also expanded them, creating a more comprehensive framework for tackling discrimination. For disabled people, this means their rights are now protected under a single, stronger piece of legislation, but ensuring those rights are respected still requires continued advocacy, awareness, and enforcement.
