From Monday the 31 of January, Edmonton Green Shopping Centre will allow all Blue Badge holders to stay and park for free across three of the centre’s car parks.
Visitors must ensure they have pre-registered their badge and vehicle prior to their visit and once they have registered their free parking will be applied.
Sabri Marsaoui, asset director at Edmonton Green Shopping Centre, said: “It’s important to support members of our community in the best way we can, and we are hopeful that this change will make a difference to those that need it most.”
Ray Downing, artistic director at Face Front Inclusive Theatre (based in the Shopping Centre), said: “We are thrilled with the incoming changes of free parking for Blue Badge holders at Edmonton Green Shopping Centre. These changes make the shopping centre and our studio space more accessible to our community.
“Disabled people in particular face multiple challenges, including restricted access to leisure, employment, and education due to physical, attitudinal, and communication barriers as well as active discrimination. The money saved on parking can be repurposed to support more of our inclusive theatre groups and participants.”
