Extra Blue Badge Parking for Matchdays

Extra blue badge parking is to be provided for supporters on Dundee FC and Dundee United FC matchdays in the new restricted parking zone around both football grounds. 

Following feedback from fans after the the first two home games of the season, positive discussions have taken place between the city council, Police Scotland and respresentatives of both clubs. 

This has resulted in new locations being provided in addition to the marked disabled parking on Provost Road, Sandeman Street and North Isla Street. 

 Blue Badge holders will also be able to park in the following locations: 

• East side of Hindmarsh Avenue between Sandeman Street and Tannadice Street 

• West side of Arklay Street, between Sandeman Street and Strathmore Street 

• Both sides of North Isla Street between Dens Road and Tannadice Street

The extra disabled parking will be available for the next home matches - Dundee v Hearts on August 27 and Dundee United v Airdrie on September 2 and thereafter. 

City council Fair Work, Economic Growth and Infrastructure Convener Cllr Steven Rome said: “We have listened closely to the views of fans and we have been able to respond with this solution. I hope that this helps to improve the accessibility to the grounds for supporters with disabilities and improve their matchday experience.  We will work with the clubs to share news of this change.”

 A Dundee FC spokesperson said: “The Club are delighted that, following tri-partite discussions with Dundee City Council and Dundee United FC, additional local parking capacity has been found for blue badge holders. Hopefully this will greatly assist those supporters attending matches in the future.” 

Chris Garland, Dundee United FC Safety Officer and Head of Facilities and Stadium Operations, said: “Following discussions with Dundee FC and the City Council, we are delighted all parties have come together to provide a resolution following concerns raised from supporters. We will continue dialogue throughout the season to ensure any further improvements can be made where necessary.” 

The new restricted parking zone came into effect at the start of the current season. You can find details here
