A Blue Badge is not a licence to park anywhere. If you park where it would cause an obstruction or danger to other road users, you could be fined or receive a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) or have your vehicle removed. If you park in a bay, the vehicle must be within the markings - any vehicle not parked within the markings will receive a PCN.

More information on GOV.UK about The Blue Badge scheme: rights and responsibilities in England.
Blue Badge parking is available free of charge for on street parking meters and pay and display meters, as well as in our City Centre car parks. This is except for George Street and Osborne Street.
'Badge holders may park for free and for as long as they need to unless there is a traffic sign specifying a time limit for holders of Disabled Parking badges'. The excerpt is taken from page 16 of the Blue Badge Scheme Handbook.

Parking guidelines to display your Blue Badge
Make sure of the following when displaying your Blue Badge -
- display the correct side of your badge, this is the side with the expiry date
- position your badge so it is clearly visible from the outside of the vehicle and is not hidden by window shading
- do not park in a prohibited space, such as on single or double yellow lines where there is a loading restriction in force or within a loading bay
- set the time of arrival on your time clock if you park on a single or double yellow lines
- do not park partially on single or double yellow lines and partially within a parking place
Failure to display correctly may result in you being issued with a penalty charge notice.
