�The
plans, brought forward in a bill by Labour MSP Jackie Baillie, were given the go-ahead in principle
from Holyrood's Local Government Committee.� Currently, 85% of disabled parking
bays are not legally enforceable at the moment.
If given final parliamentary
backing, the Disabled Persons' Parking Places Bill will see anyone using a
disabled parking place without a blue badge fined up to �60.
The proposals will also require
councils to work with the owners and operators of private car parks
- such as supermarkets and out of town shopping centres - to
negotiate an agreement to make disabled parking places in these car
parks enforceable.
