Off-Street Car Parks

Blue Badge holders can park free of charge in any Borough Car Park when displaying a valid Blue Badge. They must adhere to the maximum stated time for each car park as outlined on the Tariff Board. To avoid the risk of receiving a Penalty Charge Notice all vehicles must be parked within the bay markings.

Please note: that vehicles displaying a Blue Badge which are parked causing an obstruction or using a badge in a fraudulent manner, will have their details noted and passed to the Thames Valley Police and the appropriate issuing Borough.

For further information on car parks in the borough, please visit our Parking web pages, or for blue badge parking information, please see the Blue Badge disabled parking scheme permit web page.

Make sure the badge is displayed and all rules observed. You can also park on double yellow lines provided obstruction is not being caused.
