FOI Request - Disabled Bay Information
Request 101004020348
This request relates specifically to on-street disabled parking bays created by Traffic Regulation Orders. The data may be held by the Parking Services, Highways, or Traffic Management team. I am building an accessibility application for Blue Badge holders and this information will be used to help disabled drivers locate appropriate parking across the UK.
I am requesting the following information regarding disabled parking bays within your Borough/Council:
1. A complete list of all on-street designated disabled parking bays within the borough, including for each bay:
a) Geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude, or Easting and Northing in OSGB36/EPSG:27700 — both formats are acceptable)
b) Street name and nearest house number or junction
c) Postcode
d) Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) reference number
2. For each bay, where this information is held:
a) The days and hours during which the disabled bay restriction applies (e.g. "Monday to Saturday 08:00 to 18:30" or "at any time")
b) Maximum permitted stay duration for Blue Badge holders
c) Whether a parking clock or disc must be displayed
d) Whether the bay is a named personal bay or a general public disabled bay I would prefer the data in GeoJSON, CSV, or Shapefile format.
