Sutton has rolled out new disabled parking bays at multiple locations including Carshalton, Wallington, and Worcester Park, catering to Blue Badge holders. Each bay measures 6.6 metres and is available for use at all times, aimed at improving accessibility in areas with parking shortages. The initiative removes some underutilized parking bays to make room for these new facilities. This change, part of the Sutton Council's parking amendments, came into effect on March 17, 2023, under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984.
