The Blue Badge Scheme
The Blue Badge Scheme provides a national arrangement of parking concessions for people with:- Severe walking difficulties who travel either as drivers or passengers.
- Registered blind people.
- People with very severe upper limb disabilities who regularly drive a vehicle but cannot turn a steering wheel by hand.
The scheme allows badge holders to park closer to their destination, but the national concessions apply only to on-street parking. For more detailed information, visit the Grampian Caredata web site.
Application forms are also available from:
- Marischal College Customer Service Centre
- Kincorth Customer Access Point
- Mastrick Access Point
- Woodside Access Point
Access points also accept and verify application forms.
Note: There is a £20.00 charge for issue of a badge - this will be requested upon approval for issue of a badge and payment should not be sent with your application.
