Blue Badge Holders
Blue Badge Permits in the Forest Heath area are issued by Suffolk Social Services team and are designed to help make car parking easier for people who have mobility difficulties.

The Department for Transport has produced a guidance manual for blue badge holders and their drivers which details the power to inspect blue badges being diplayed on vehicles.

Pay and Display Car Parks

Parking is FREE in the car parks set out below for all vehicles displaying the blue badge correctly. Free parking is permitted in all bays not just those dedicated for disabled parking provided the permit is displayed.

Parking is however restricted to the maximum time allowed in any car park:-


Disabled Badge holders are required to display their badge on the dashboard with the Blue Badge showing correctly.

Permits showing the expiry date must be displayed in the front windscreen of the vehicle as shown (below). The incorrect display of Disabled Badge could result in a Excess Charge Notice being issued.

As well as the Disabled Badge a parking disc is also required (these are issued with the badge). The disc must be displayed every time you park and set to show the time of arrival. This should be displayed alongside your Blue Badge.
