Disabled parking bay

If you have a Blue Badge you may qualify to have a disabled resident parking bay marked outside or near to your home.

There is no charge for a disabled parking bay.

Who can apply

To apply for a new disabled parking bay you must:

live in Redbridge
have a valid Blue Badge
have a car registered with the DVLA to your address
not have off-road parking, such as a garage or driveway
the road is heavily parked, making it difficult to park close to your property
the provision of a bay will not have an adverse impact on road safety or traffic conditions
receive the higher rate of the mobility component of Disability Living Allowance

You must make sure you meet all the above requirements before making your application.

We'll need proof of:

your current Blue Badge (both sides)
vehicle registration document (log book/V5), insurance certificate, or your Motability agreement if you hire your car through the Motability scheme
copy of your driver’s licence
award letter from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) that says that you receive: the higher rate of the mobility component of Disability Living Allowance

If you're a wheelchair user or partially blind then we'll consider someone else who drives you but lives at the same address.

You must include a supporting letter from your GP stating that you are a wheelchair user or that you are partially sighted.
