Healthcare Emergency Badge

How to apply for a parking badge if you work in healthcare services and attend medical emergencies in patients' homes.

Please be aware that Harbour car park, Torquay, is currently closed.

A recent inspection has identified defects in a small number of supporting beams in the car park structure. This means the multi storey section of the car park isn’t safe for pedestrians or cars until essential repairs can be carried out. This has required us to close both upper and lower parking levels. Parking for Premier Inn customers is unaffected by the closure.

Please be assured that the decision to close the car park was not taken lightly. We are aware that the closure will cause disruption for local businesses, residents and visitors alike. We are working hard to reopen the car park as soon as possible.

The closure includes both Montpellier Road and Museum Road entrances.

During the closure, you are advised to park in alternative local car parks at Meadfoot Road and Beacon Quay. Fleet Walk pay on exit car park and the Torquay Marina car park are also available.

Permits for Harbour car park can be used at Meadfoot Road and Beacon Quay car parks.

We appreciate your patience whilst the essential repairs are carried out. Further updates will be provided as new information becomes available.

Please be aware that parking permits are non-refundable.

Please note the permit application process can take up to 15 working days once all evidence that is required has been received.

The healthcare emergency badge (HEB) scheme is for organisations who administer emergency care to those who are in need of medical or other care services primarily to people who are housebound.

Organisations within the healthcare services, may apply for a badge and clock (similar to the current disabled blue badge) which allows the holder to park on a yellow line restriction for up to 1 hour providing there is no loading/unloading ban in place at the location. Eligible services include:

  • GPs
  • District Nurses
  • Midwives
  • Meals on Wheels
  • Care workers providing services to people in their own homes

Applications

You can apply for a HEB or renewal by completing an application form and sending it us along with the correct fee.

Please ensure you allow up to 14 working days for applications to be processed.

Fees

The fee for a HEB is £15.

Please be advised that postal orders will no longer be accepted, only business cheques.
