Parking for disabled persons (Blue Badge holders)

Parking charges apply to all car park users 

Parking bays specifically reserved for use by disabled persons can be found in most of our car parks, and on-street parking is available to Blue Badge Holders

The Devon County Council website provides further information on the blue badge scheme.

There are two main conditions for the use of Blue Badge holder bays:

1. The vehicle must clearly display a valid disabled persons badge and a valid Pay & Display Ticket must be purchased.
2. The maximum stay that is permitted will be indicated on the charges / conditions board found adjacent to the Pay & Display Meter.

Remember: If these bays are occupied, then you may use an ordinary parking bay providing you adhere to the above conditions.

The table below shows the number of disabled bays in Torridge District Council car parks. Parking is also available on-street for Blue Badge holders.

Where can you park with a Blue Badge?

The Blue Badge scheme only applies to on-street parking.  Badge holders have free use of parking meters and pay-and-display bays. They may also be exempt from limits on parking times imposed on other users (check local signs for information) and can park for up to three hours on yellow lines (except where there is a ban on loading or unloading or other restrictions, blue badge holders must not park in loading bays). A clock card must be displayed when parking on yellow lines.

The scheme does not apply to off-street car parks including Torridge District Council owned car parks, supermarket car parks, or privately-owned roads, such as those you find at airports. A guide to the rights and responsibilities of Blue Badge holders in England (which includes full details of where parking is permitted) is available to download to the right.
