We are introducing a new free parking system for Blue Badge holders.
- Southend Hospital - 11 July — ANPR is now live.
- Basildon Hospital - 16 July — ANPR is now live.
- Broomfield Hospital - 22 July
This will work with our Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) parking system to improve your experience when visiting our Basildon, Broomfield and Southend Hospital sites.
You can get ahead of the upcoming changes by pre-registering for an ongoing Blue Badge Permit. Please note that until we move to the new system you will still need to validate your permit on site.
Until the ANPR parking is introduced you can continue to:
Show your Blue Badge (or a photo of it) and give your car registration at the following places depending on the site you visit:
- Basildon - ANPR is now live, please follow the instructions below to register.
- Broomfield - cashier’s office in the main atrium between 9am and 4pm, Monday to Friday.
- Southend – ANPR is now live, please follow the instructions below to register.
Pre-register for an ongoing Blue Badge permit and free parking
If you have a Blue Badge, you must register your vehicle. You can save time by pre-registering once and your permit will stay active until your Blue Badge expires.
You’ll need:
- A mobile phone
- An email address.
How to register:
- Visit https://nexusplatform.co.uk/register
- Create your account (using your email and mobile number).
- Confirm your email address via the link sent to you.
- Enter the one-time passcode sent to you via SMS.
- Set a 6-digit access code. This code allows you to log in without needing a one-time-passcode (OTP) in the future.
- Use invitation code: G28CMAJ.
- Upload your vehicle details and a photo of your Blue Badge.
- You’ll receive confirmation – your permit is now active.
Can I still park for free if I don't pre-register for an ongoing Blue Badge permit?
Yes. If you prefer, you can validate your Blue Badge parking permit each time you visit. Enter your registration number at the validation console located at reception. If you choose this option, you will need to do this every time you visit our hospitals.
Can I register more than one car for the same Blue Badge?
No, only one vehicle registration number can be registered for a Blue Badge parking permit at a time.
But if you are travelling to hospital in a different car to the one registered with your Blue Badge, you can either:
Enter your Blue Badge and car registration details into a validation console when you are on site to obtain validated daily parking, when displaying your Blue Badge
OR
Update the vehicle on your existing ongoing Blue Badge parking permit:
-
Press the 'permits' button
-
Select 'Edit' at the bottom of your active permit
-
You will see the words 'Change Vehicle' - select this
-
Input your new vehicle details and submit
-
Your new permit will be created for the updated vehicle and your previous permit will be expired.
