You can apply for a Blue badge through Hampshire County Council.
If you are a Blue Badge holder you are exempt from some waiting restrictions and some parking charges as long as your valid Blue Badge and time clock are displayed correctly. If the details (particularly the expiry date) are faded and cannot be read, the badge should be returned to the issuing office.
Details of parking for blue badge holders is detailed below. Where parking is free, this applies to all bays in the car park, not just those dedicated for disabled users.
