Lower Traffic Neighbourhoods (LTN) are designed to make residential streets safer, encourage people to walk and cycle more and reduce air pollution.
As part of our ongoing monitoring strategy, we have learned that Blue Badge holders may be disproportionately impacted by LTN schemes, as they often have reduced mobility, which can make walking and cycling much more difficult.
As a response to this, Lambeth Council have introduced an LTN dispensation for Blue Badge holders.
Who can use this service
Blue Badge holders can apply for an LTN dispensation to access one traffic filter location within a given LTN during its hours of operation.
The dispensation is for a Blue Badge holder, or a badge holder's appointed driver. This can be a family member or a friend.
Blue Badge holders can register a maximum of two vehicles for the LTN dispensation.

How to apply
Your application will be assessed and approved by a member of the parking and licensing team. Once approved, we will contact you to confirm your LTN dispensation details.
You can watch a video on how to apply if you need additional support.
Please note: Blue Badge holders who drive through their LTN traffic filter without confirmation that their application is successful may be issued with a Penalty Charge Notice.
To prevent any delays with your application, please ensure all the correct evidence is provided with the application.

- Blue Badge - copy of both sides of the badge
