Blue Badge Scheme

There is a £10.00 charge, this is the only fee that will apply and will be refunded if you are not successful. Once you have submitted your application please pay on-line. Applications may take up to eight weeks to process. So if you are applying for a review of your Blue Badge, please apply at least 12 weeks before your current badge is due to expire. Displaying the Blue Badge in your car allows you to park in dedicated parking bays. This helps you park closer to your destination. Even if you don't have a car you can use your Blue Badge in someone else's car, when they drive you somewhere. Please note that you will need to pay a £10 fee before the replacement badge can be issued. Controlled Parking Zones - Blue Badge holders may park free of charge with no time limits within Controlled Parking Zones & Permit Parking Areas.

This includes residents only bays and pay and dispaly bays. The Blue Badge must be displayed at all times. RBK Car Parks - Free parking in all bays within RBK car parks. Disabled parking bays - You may park for free, for as long as is required, unless signs state otherwise with a limited time allowed in the bay. We provide parking bays throughout the borough particularly within Kingston Town Centre and local shopping areas for the exclusive use of blue badge holders. Some disabled parking bays are time limited; please check the signs carefully when you park. If there are no times displayed the bay is in operation 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You, and those who drive you, need to know your rights and responsibilities when using a Blue Badge. The Blue Badge scheme guide details your rights and responsibilities and sets out the rules for when and where you can park.

Please note that if you have more than one vehicle registered on your University parking permit, you MUST ensure that the correct vehicle is active on your permit BEFORE parking on campus. To switch the active vehicle on your permit, log on to your online parking account, select ‘history’ on the home page and click on the green vehicle icon against your permit. Access the parking permit system here. Failure to ensure the vehicle you wish to park on campus is both registered and active on your permit may result in enforcement action. The University recognises the importance of supporting staff and students with a disability to enable them to travel to work or study. Any member of staff or student with a disability or other condition affecting their mobility (including a difficult pregnanacy) can apply for a disabled parking permit for the Precinct and Satellite sites. Applicants are required to demonstrate how they meet at least one of the disabled parking criteria, as set out in the car parking policy.

Disabled parking permit holders are allocated a designated parking space as close as possible to their main place of work or study. Applications for a disabled parking permit can be made using the new online permit management system. To apply, staff should first register for an account on the permit management system via Single Sign-On. Students should register using the alternative log on option. You can then complete the online questionnaire and upload the documents required to support your application. GP/Consultant (staff & students), or a statement from a UoB Disability Services Advisor (students only), using the Disabled Staff/Student Medical Assessment Proforma (PDF, 1,876kB) confirming diagnosis of your condition and providing details of the impact on your mobility.
