Blue Badge Parking

Dedicated disabled parking bays are situated in the following car parks: Grafton Street surface car park; Grafton Street muti-storey; MRI Out-patients; Hathersage Road; Saint Mary's Pay and Display.  There are also some spaces near the main Out-patients Department at the Grafton Street side of Manchester Royal Infirmary.

Parking is free of charge for disabled drivers, patients and visitors providing a valid Blue Badge is displayed in the vehicle.  If all dedicated disabled bays are full (which is unlikely) Blue Badge holders are allowed to park in any standard car park bay without charge as long as they are displaying a valid blue badge in the vehicle.

Drivers of vehicles displaying the Blue Badge must not park on double yellow lines or in any other location (just in a marked car park bay).
