I think you only need to use the clock if you're parked somewhere where a time limit is indicated .


You are not limited to parking in disabled bays ,with a blue badge you can park on single and double yellow lines - but make sure you are not causing an obstruction .


You will see many blue badge holders parked on double yellow lines on the access roads around the car park .


Often there's no space even on double yellows and I've ended up in Coldharbour Lane and then use a wheelchair . De Crespigny park is also a possibility . Or drop person off ,park and return .


Obviously allow LOTS of time and be careful not to park in a Residents only bay . You can park on double yellows but not in resident permit parking .


Good luck . It's not easy .

Some may be in the car park - this morning there was around 12 cars waiting turn to get into the car park blocking the access road for considerable time.

the parking wardens are always on the prowl around Kings several times a day and will ticket blue badge holders if they go over their allocated time. I saw one car with a wheel lock on it despite the blue badge and clock.

I have been parking regularly at Kings with a blue badge for the last 2 years (sometimes daily).

Both Lambeth and Southwark run the scheme where you can park in Pay for Stay Bays or joint Pay/Resident Bays for up to 3 hours.

Having said that, I have parked in Resident only, on single and double yellow lines and in Loading only bays for longer than 3 hours at a time and as long as my Blue Badge is showing, I have never yet been ticketed and I have noted that many other Blue Badge users do exactly the same thing, due to the shortage of Disabled Parking Bays. Wardens just seem to turn a blind eye. I have even parked on double yellow lines in front of one warden and he just turned and walked away, so I wouldn't worry too much.

Just avoid Staff Parking Bays as they can get very shirty with you.

Just find a space if you can!!!

Double yellow lines are allowed under the regulations ,no need for wardens to turn a blind ete . You need to display time clock .


Residents bays and loading only bays are not and I have been ticketed when displaying a blue badge . I think you may be luckier than me !

    • The sites in question though are not comparable to the builders yard by the station and less likely to be granted planning permission for 9 storey buildings. The builders yard fronts on to the railway line on one side and virtually no residential property surrounding on the other sides. The Gibbs & Dandy /Kwikfit and ED trading trading estate are surrounded at close proximity by residential, and in the case of the latter a Grade II building, so there would more stringent height restrictions. Both these sites are tired and in need of development to provide much needed housing.
    • Not sure if this is any help but was initally told to use google chrome as the browser and the code was the reference. However the person at Southwark parking took pity on me and did it for me 
    • I can see how it could've worked 20 or 30 years ago, when you couldn't swing a pool cue in the Foresters without hitting a sparks, a plumber or a chippy, but the area has changed somewhat. I'm not sure people around here have such trade-able skills these days. Have a word with someone in your local and you'll see. People are always going to need their boiler fixed, a damp patch sorted or their dimmer switch dimmed, but I can pretty much guarantee I'm never going need my corporate policy complied with, my social media planned, my data mined, my green transport tsared, my information architected or my analytics analysed. It reminds me of the great DIY con of the mid to late seventies. My Mum bought into it, my Dad didn't. Anyway, my Mum won out and we let the gardener go (he went on to be TV's Timmy Mallett, so that's a warning from history), but my Dad shorted the house out and singed his head when he cut through the flex on his new Black & Decker hedge trimmer. We all laughed, of course, but he got his own back when, because we didn't use a qualified electrician to do things properly, she electrocuted herself when she pulled the back of the plug off her Carmen heated rollers while it was still in the socket. Keep things professional, say 'No!' to this sort of nonsense. We pay people a decent rate of pay because they're specialists at these things. I did once barter my sister's space hopper and roller skates for twenty-odd square foot of crazy paving, though. That was a birthday present my Mum never forgot, and not in a good way.  
    • Thanks both of you. I have also been having the same problem. I emailed the named person on the letter, with no response. I also tried phoning and was transferred to another number which cut me off. I hope they extend the deadline for applying as there are likely to be many people without a permit by the deadline for applying.
