Hi friends, 

I hope you've e been staying warm & well.

I have a bit of question which i hope someone who has some amount of knowledgeable on the subject and can help with guidance in understanding how to go about it, as I don't know what the  general rules are as the contract doesn't state clearly, but firectly asked if me te applicant to ptiide my information but doesnt gives room for what if te individual dorsnt drive.
 I have been accepted for an offer afer a long wait but and would like to take up the offer to having my own parking bay but there's a problem with how to go about the contract l. 

The council is aware I'm a blue badge holder and  I was sent the agreements to fill and to then return it with following documents, such as 
Vehicle registration, MOT Cert, photo ID, proof of address, letter from lease company plus blue badge etc 

My main questions in what the rules are in cimpeting the contract as since, firstly, i don't drive at the moment as im disabled is planning in the near future to buy a car and awaiting to be approved for a disabled vehicle but in te mean time wanted a bay gor my viditors.

When I initially applied for a parking bay mainly, I wanted, when my family/guest /friends  come to visit they can park without getting fined.

Also, I have recieved a separate form for an enablers/ carers when they visit to fill as well. 
Mainly, I  have 5-6 friends who comes to visit regularly and when they comes to visit  to have a bay so when as a main driver coming to my home regularly can park and use this as my main mode of transport for now, to take me to my appointments etc.
 
Please kindly give any advice information on how to go about to filling contract, any information and the  general rules on this topic to help with my application. 

Thank you very much for any information given

    Hello Chaase, explain your current circumstances to the council. Inform them that you don't drive at the moment due to disability but are in the process of getting approval for a disabled vehicle. Mention your need for a parking bay for visitors, and carers who assist you. 

    When filling out the contract, submit the documents they've requested. Even if you don't have a car yet, you can provide your blue badge, proof of address, and any other necessary documents. This shows your intent to comply with their requirements. 

    Make sure to discuss the specific needs related to your visitors/carers with the council. If you want them to have access to the parking bay, ask if they need to register their vehicles or if you can get visitor permits. 

    The council should provide you with a clear understanding of the rules and regulations governing the use of the parking bay. Ensure you understand these rules, especially in terms of who can use the bay and any time restrictions. 

    If you have any difficulty or confusion while filling out the contract, don't hesitate to contact the council for assistance. They should be able to provide guidance or clarify on any uncertainties.
