Accessible parking in Nottingham

Blue Badge spaces and disabled parking with the details that matter

If you're a Blue Badge holder navigating Nottingham, you've probably hit the same problem we have: a parking space marked “accessible” doesn't always live up to the name. Bay widths vary, kerb cuts are missing, and the closest space to the door isn't always the one you'd choose if you knew the details up front.

Close to the Door brings together community-verified parking data from across United Kingdom and the rest of Europe, so you can choose a space in Nottingham based on what actually matters — bay width, access aisles, surface type, lighting, kerb cuts and more — before you set off.

Your Blue Badge gives you access to dedicated bays in Nottingham and on-street concessions in many places. Close to the Door's accessibility data — bay widths, surface types, kerb cuts and lighting — helps you find a space that genuinely works for you, not just one that's marked with the wheelchair symbol. The same data covers the rest of the UK, Ireland and large parts of the EU.

Parking in Nottingham: what to expect

Nottingham operates the UK's only Workplace Parking Levy, but standard accessible bays are exempt. The Old Market Square and Trinity Square area is partially pedestrianised, with tram lines running through several central streets — worth noting when picking a kerbside space.
