Blue Badge Scheme
The Blue Badge Scheme provides parking concessions nationally for people with a disability, whether that person is the driver or a passenger. Disabled or blind people, including children over the age of 2, can use the scheme by displaying a Blue Badge in the vehicle they are using. The holder of a Blue Badge is permitted to park in areas normally subject to restrictions to assist them to access healthcare, shops and other facilities. Information about the Blue Badge scheme and the application form can be found at: mygov.scot/apply-blue-badge/. The charge for a Blue Badge can be up to £20. Your local council decides on the charge for a Blue Badge and you pay the money to them. Information about Blue Badges in the Falkirk Council area can be found at: falkirk.gov.uk/services/roads-parking-transport/streets-parking/blue-badge-scheme.aspx or you can telephone 01324 503131.
