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;

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:

    • https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.          
    • Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068. 
    • Colin.    One for the old school.   Just saying.
