Healthy School Streets Scheme - Frequently asked questions

As a Blue Badge holder, do I need to apply for an exemption?

You will need to register for our online parking system at www.newham.gov.uk/mipermitnewham. Please visit the Access Permits section and complete the application, uploading your proof of address and proof of vehicle documents. You will receive a confirmation email but please note paper copies of the virtual permit will not be issued and cannot be used as a parking permit.

If you change your vehicle, please remember you will need to cancel your permit via MiPermit Newham and apply again for your new vehicle or you risk receiving a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) for entering the scheme area during the timed access restrictions.

You will need to apply online to be issued with a virtual permit if you:

  • park off-street within the restriction zone above with no other permits registered to your address are a Business Permit holder whose vehicle is registered at any of the above addresses 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
  • Front and back copies of blue badge card along with proof of access requirement (proof of employment, letter from school proving child’s enrolment)
