Parking in Horsham District with a Blue Badge
You can use your Blue Badge when parking on-street and off-street in the District.
West Sussex County Council are responsible for on-street parking and Horsham District Council are responsible for off-street parking.
Parking on street with a Blue Badge
If you have a Blue Badge you may park without payment or time limit in any on-street pay and display parking bay.
Blue Badge holders are not exempt from parking restrictions where loading bays apply and cannot park within marked out loading bays.
Parking in a Council car park (off street) with a Blue Badge
All Blue Badge holders are entitled to use the Blue Badge holder parking bays in our car parks for the maximum stay.
In addition to this, if you are a Blue Badge holder who receives
- the higher rate of Mobility Living Allowance
- Personal Independence Payment (PIP)
- or Attendance Allowance
you can register one vehicle with us to park for free at any of our car parks.
If you are not in receipt of any of the above, then payment is required.
Please ensure you always display your Blue Badge and your Blue Badge clock when visiting our car park. Set your clock to your time of arrival.
