City centre pedestrianisation

Blue badge holders, delivery drivers and permit holders

The following vehicles can access the pedestrianised zone as follows:

Blue badge holders can drive through the pedestrianised zone to access parking in designated bays on Bore Street only at any time.
Entry will be granted via an intercom system, where users will be asked to provide their blue badge details.
If blue badge holders park in any other location (other than Bore Street) penalty charge notices will be issued.
If you are a blue badge holder and are unable to use the intercom for any reason, please email parking@lichfielddc.gov.uk

If you are a blue badge holder and are travelling in a taxi/vehicle that is not yours, you can still gain access to the pedestrianised area, but you/your driver must provide your valid blue badge number to the control team over the intercom.
If you are being dropped off and the vehicle/taxi needs to return to collect you from within the pedestrianised area, let the control team know your name and the person/taxi collecting you will need to give your name to gain re-entry.
If you forget to do this, and are attending a city centre business from which you require a pick-up within the pedestrianised zone, we recommend you request the business's assistance to contact the control team (city businesses have been provided with the control centre number). You will need to provide your valid blue badge number to the business who will relay it to the control centre so your taxi can be granted access.
If you cannot provide a valid blue badge number you will not be granted access.

Deliveries can be made within the pedestrianised zone at any time.
Businesses will receive access codes to share with delivery drivers.
If you are a delivery driver making deliveries in the pedestrian zone, you should contact the business you are delivering to for the access code.

Permit holders with private parking accessed via the pedestrian zone can access at any time to travel to their designated parking.
Access fobs will be issued to eligible businesses and residents, or you can apply for your access permit.

If you have any questions, please email parking@lichfielddc.gov.uk or call our customer services team on 01543 308000.
