Overview

Blue Badge holders are able to park closer to their destination either as the driver or passenger. Blue Badge is a national scheme that is open to individuals who qualify and organisations that care for those individuals.

It will cost £10 for a new, renewal or replacement Blue Badge. You can get your Blue Badge photo for free at the library (apart from Prestbury library). Some of our libraries operate an appointment system, please check before you attend.

If you live in Cheshire East you should only apply for a Blue Badge from our website. Be aware that other websites may charge you for the application of the badge as well as the cost of the badge.  

Organisations that care for and transport people who meet the Blue Badge qualifying criteria may apply for one or more Organisational Blue Badges.
