Restricted mobility permit terms and conditions

The terms and conditions for using a restricted mobility permit (RMP) in Dorset Council car parks are as follows:

1. The Blue Badge must be displayed with the RMP to receive 3 hours free parking. The Blue Badge parking clock must be set at time of arrival.
2. The RMP must only be used when the Blue Badge holder is present in the vehicle at some point during the trip. It cannot be used by a driver of a Blue Badge holder for their own personal use.
3. The permit holder can only have one RMP at any one time, and it cannot be used with the Blue Badge 1 hour parking concession or the Dorset Council Short Stay Permit.
4. The RMP cannot be transferred to other Blue Badge holders.
5. The issue of a permit does not guarantee the holder a parking space. The RMP is valid for use by Blue Badge holders in any parking bay including disabled bays.
6. A Penalty Charge Notice may be issued to any vehicle parked in contravention of the requirements of the current Dorset Council (Off-Street) Parking Places Order.
7. A new application needs to be made for lost permits; this will cost £15.

Car park restrictions

1. Vehicles must be parked within the bay markings. The pay and display charges apply to all bays, including ‘disabled’ bays. 
2. Some of our car parks have extra-wide designated ‘disabled’ parking spaces. Vehicles parked in ‘disabled’ spaces must have a valid blue badge clearly displayed, as well as a valid pay and display ticket/RMP.
3. Parking is not permitted on double yellow lines or on yellow hatched areas within car parks.
4. Parking is not permitted in spaces designated for use by other users (such as permit holders) unless the Blue Badge holder also has the relevant permit.
5. Parking is not permitted in spaces designated for use by specific types of vehicle (such as solo motorcycles) unless the Blue Badge holder’s vehicle is of the type for which that space has been reserved.
6. The maximum stay in car parks must be adhered to.
