Changes to Blue Badge parking arrangements at Victoria Infirmary

Tuesday, 21 July 2026 11:18

From Tuesday 1st September 2026, Blue Badge holders visiting the Victoria Infirmary in Northwich will no longer need to register their vehicle details in advance.

To access free parking, Blue Badge holders should simply:

scan the barcode on their Blue Badge at a parking payment machine before leaving the site, or
scan the barcode at the exit barrier reader as they leave the car park

This change follows improvements to the parking system at the Victoria Infirmary and is intended to make the process simpler, quicker, and more convenient for patients and visitors.

The current process will remain in place until, and including, Monday 31st August 2026.
