Disabled bays
Blue Badge holders can park in any on-street parking bay free of charge providing a valid blue badge is on display.
The bays are either provided as single bays, in groups near main shopping areas or as individual parking spaces outside a disabled driver's home. Drivers parking in either type of bay, whether in a group of bays or a single bay outside a particular property, must clearly display a valid disabled badge.
Any driver displaying a valid disabled badge can park in a disabled bay on-street, even if it's outside someone else's property.
We have on-street disabled bays around the town centre:
- County Road
- James Whatman Way
- King Street
- Maidstone High Street
