A Mobility Parking Permit enables the permit holder to park conveniently close to their destination, inaccessible reserved parking spaces or park longer than the stated time in some standard car parks and metered spaces.

It is a concession-parking scheme owned and administered by CCS Disability Action with the cooperation of local GPs and city and district councils.

If you qualify for a mobility permit, you will receive a card from CCS Disability Action. In December 2012, the permits were changed to a new look permit in CCS Disability Action colours (green, black and white) with an expiry date, barcode and permit number on it.

The barcode allows parking wardens to scan the permit to check ownership. Existing orange permits are still valid and will be replaced as they reach their individual expiry date.

The permit must be clearly displayed on the inside of the vehicle windscreen or on the dashboard while you are parked.
