The Blue Badge Scheme
The Blue Badge scheme is an arrangement of parking concessions for people with permanent walking difficulties or who are registered as blind, whether they are drivers or passengers. The Blue Badge Scheme is an important service for people with severe mobility problems that allows badge holders to park close to where they need to go.
The scheme is administered by local authorities and operates throughout the UK. For more information contact Durham County Council.
