The schemes for Blue Badge Holders
Dorset Council will offer two concessions:
- provide 3-hours free parking for Blue Badge holders who receive certain allowances, through the purchase of a Restricted Mobility Parking Permit
- provide an additional 1-hour parking to all Blue Badge holders when a valid pay & display ticket is purchased
The proposed scheme fulfils the needs of Blue Badge holders, by giving free parking to those who receive certain allowances due to having higher mobility needs. Besides this, it acknowledges the extra time that it may take Blue Badge holders to transition to and from their vehicle and destination, and that they made need more time at their destination.
