Blue Badge parking charges
The normal parking tariff applies to Blue Badge holders when parking in any car park. Specially adapted vehicles are exempt from these charges, which is defined as a vehicle adapted to be accessible by a wheelchair.
Safer Parking Scheme
The Safer Parking Scheme is a national standard for UK car parks that have low crime and measures in place to ensure the safety of people and vehicles. A Park Mark is awarded to each car park that achieves the challenging standards.
The distinctive Park Mark signage helps drivers find car parks where they can confidently leave their vehicle, knowing the environment is safer for them, their passengers and vehicle.
A number of Peterborough City Council car parks have the Park Mark award. These are indicated in the location table above.
