People with a disability, physical or mental health condition that affects their walking ability, or have a hidden illness such as dementia, autism or Parkinson's, may be eligible for a Blue Badge to help them park closer to the places they want to go. ‌

A Blue Badge holder travelling either as a driver or passenger , can park for free in disabled parking bays and may also be exempt from other parking restrictions. The latest figures indicate there are over 3.2 million Blue Badge holders across Great Britain, including 235,700 in Scotland. ‌

However, updated guidance on MYGOV.SCOT warns “you may be fined or prosecuted if you misuse a badge” adding that “your local council may ask for your badge to be returned if you misuse it”. ‌
