Use
Businesses, residents or Blue Badge holders that require access can apply for a dispensation to access one traffic filter location within a given LTN during its hours of operation.
The dispensation is only valid for the vehicle(s) associated with your dispensation.
A dispensation will allow the holder to pass through most filters in both directions. This will not apply in locations where directional signs, no entry signs or other restrictions are present.
Blue Badge holders can register up to two vehicles for an LTN dispensation. Each vehicle will be permitted to access only one traffic filter.

Your badge may be cancelled if you are found to have committed or attempted fraud. The council has a zero-tolerance approach to all forms of fraud and will not hesitate to take preventative or punitive action against any person or organisation suspected of fraud or attempted fraud.
