Parking charge exemptions for blue badge holders
If you are a blue badge holder, you can park for free by registering your blue badge and vehicle when visiting as a patient or visitor.
You may register in one of the following ways:
- Scan your blue badge at one of our on-site payment machines – simply follow the on-screen instructions and scan your barcode when prompted
- Visit our security office
- Email your blue badge details to [email protected]
Your blue badge must be scanned before you return to your vehicle. Please ensure you leave the time clock on display in your vehicle throughout your visit.
Once registered, you will qualify for one year of free parking in your registered vehicle or until your blue badge expires – whichever comes first.
Please note: Your free parking is linked to the vehicle(s) you have previously registered with. If you arrive in a different vehicle, you will need to re-register.
