The Mobility Parking Permit Scheme is an officially recognised concession-parking scheme owned and administered by CCS with the co-operation of all City and District Councils.

Parking concessions are granted to people with disabilities who qualify under set criteria to park as close to their destination as possible.

All qualifying applicants receive a Mobility Parking Permit card, known as a mobility card, which has a membership number. The card must be clearly displayed on the inside of the front windscreen or the dashboard, while the card-holder is parked in a designated mobility car space. All applications have to be certified by a doctor and a fee is charged for the permit (see below).

·    Permit holders are entitled to use: Accessible car parks (outlined in yellow and displaying the       wheelchair symbol)
·    Standard car parks and metered spaces for longer than stated times
·    Time-restricted zones, e.g. P30, for longer than stated times as set out in local by-laws
·    To be eligible, the applicant must either: Be unable to walk and be reliant on a wheelchair for       mobility, or
·    Rely on mobility devices (e.g. crutches, walking sticks, walking frames), or
·    Be unable to walk more than 200 metres unassisted because of the nature/severity of their       condition.

Individuals with a temporary disability can also apply for a Mobility Parking Permit mobility card.

For an application form, contact your general practitioner, medical specialist or nearest CCS branch. Remember that permits cards can only be issued with your doctor's signed approval. Mobility permit cards are available for up to five years.
