§ Lord Islwynasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether they are considering giving any guidance to local authorities about car parking charges for the disabled in town centres. [HL3126]
§ Lord WhittyDisabled people who are Orange Badge holders may park free of charge for up to three hours on yellow lines and without limit of time at on-street parking meters and pay-and-display areas (except in central London and a few other areas). This is a matter of regulation, not guidance.
Many local authorities allow Orange Badge holders to park free of charge at their off-street car parks but this is a decision for them and we do not offer guidance on it.
