We can help by providing parking concessions for people with
severe walking difficulties so that they can leave their
vehicles close to shops or other places they need to
visit.
The Blue
Badge scheme is open to any Redbridge resident over the age of
two who is:
- registered blind, or
- receives mobility allowance, or
- receives the higher rate mobility component of disability
living allowance, or
- uses a disabled person's car supplied by a government
department, or
- receives a war pensioner's mobility supplement.
There are additional criteria under which we determine your
eligibility by assessment.
Blue Badges can only be issued to those who are eligible and are
not given to relatives or carers. They can be used in any car the
badge holder is driving, or in which he or she is a
passenger.
It is an offence under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 to
display a badge on a vehicle when it is not being used to transport
the badge holder.
