Time is running out to apply to a pilot scheme that aims to help disabled people maintain mobility and independence.

The Disabled Persons Parking Places (DPPP) pilot scheme is being introduced this year to help disabled people access a parking space near their property if they don’t have a driveway.

For the first year of the scheme a maximum of ten places will be available. If the pilot is a success, more places will be installed in the coming years and applicants who meet the criteria will go onto the waiting list if they are not successful this year.

A successful permit will cost £20 annually. The application process can take a minimum of six months.

Applications will close on Sunday, 31st July.

Application forms, criteria requirements, FAQs and full details on the scheme can be found at: https://www.pembrokeshire.gov.uk/parking-in-pembrokeshire/disabled-persons-parking-places

Alternatively, applicants can also phone the County Council on 01437 764551 and request a paper copy of the application form.
