Blue Badge holders can park free of charge in council operated car parks. If no disabled bays are available, you can park in a regular Pay and Display bay free of charge.

Valid blue badge holders may park in Kingsgate Multi Storey Car Park, Town Hall Multi Storey Car Park and Orchard Street Multi Storey Car Park free of charge but must register with Parking Services in advance for the Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR). Email parking.services@crawley.gov.uk and request to be registered. We will require a photo of the front and back of the valid blue badge, along with the registration of the vehicle. The subscription entered will be valid until the expiry date of the blue badge provided. It is the blue badge holder’s responsibility to provide the correct details to Parking Services. We will confirm your subscription by email once it has been entered.
