As a Blue Badge holder, do I need to apply for an exemption?
You will need to apply for a Healthy School Streets (HSS) Access permit.
You can apply online for a virtual Access permit if you:
- park off-street within the Healthy School Street zone with no other permits registered to your address
- are a Business Permit holder whose vehicle is registered at an addresses in a Healthy School Street zone and is ordinarily kept there overnight
Blue Badge holders must identify reasonable access requirements, for example:
- You currently work within the restriction zone
- You or your child is a Blue Badge holder and must be escorted to school using a vehicle
To apply you will need, front and back copies of Blue Badge card along with proof of access requirement (proof of employment, letter from school proving child’s enrolment)
If you change your vehicle, you will need to cancel your permit and apply again for your new vehicle, or you risk receiving a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) for entering the HHS zone during the timed access restrictions.
