Hello Blue Badge Holder,


I discovered a permit for southwark blue badge holders called AD badge permit which I wanted to share with all. I have not seen it advertised on the council website or received any information on it.


The AD badge permit is a virtual permit ( no paper permit is sent out) and the ownership is on the customer to remember when the permit run?s out, Southwark parking do not send out any paper reminders. (not sure if that means you receive a email reminder).


Southwark Parking enforcement officers use a handheld device to check the vehicle has a permit, (please use the same way as the blue badge in Southwark - no parking in any of the resident bays in Southwark)


No need any more to display the Blue badge or clock in Southwark, only use the blue badge when parking out of Southwark into another Council or private land eg shopping centres /supermarkets etc...


Customers that do qualify will also be registered to a list with southwark civil enforcement officers who operates the CCTV in Southwark.


You will be covered for the (LTN) camera restrictions within Southwark as shown on link below;


https://www.southwark.gov.uk/parking/disabled-parking/parking-with-a-blue-badge?chapter=2


How to apply?

simply email [email protected] and request a AD badge permit. You also need to include the front and back copy of your blue badge and your vehicle registration number (you can only register one vehicle). you will be registered within 24 hours. Cost is free.


This scheme is perfect if you forget to display your blue badge within the borough, and you will not get a ticket.

That seems to be a useful link to the page on Southwark Streetspace measure exemptions" for holders of Blue Cards, but I don't see any mention of "AD badge permits" or a general Southwark-wide freedom from the need to display the card. Were I such a person I'd want to see official terms and conditions rather than relying on a post here.

Thats why I mentioned the following in the first line:


I have not seen it advertised on the council website or received any information on it.


I have emailed parking services already, to ask why it is not advertised on their website, and why blue badge holders are either not routinely signed up to this or at least sent information.

Your welcome to email parking services directly for clarity, i thought it was good of me to share information. but feel free to email the council yourself:

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
