What it asks
Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to review the effectiveness of the measures introduced in the Disabled Persons’ Parking Places (Scotland) Act 2009 regarding the enforcement of disabled parking on private property and to consider further measures to grant local authorities the power to enforce disabled parking on private land.
What the petitioner did first
I have contacted a variety of companies, e.g. sports centres, shopping centres, cinemas/entertainment venues and supermarkets. They have all confirmed to me that their disabled parking bays are on private land and they have no control or authority to issue parking tickets/fines in the same way that traffic wardens (or whoever takes this over) do on public land.
I then contacted some private land owners of the above locations and they confirmed they would have no objection to traffic wardens (or whoever takes this over) controlling disabled parking bays on their private land and issuing tickets/fines.
Prior to contacting the above I met with my local MSP, Gordon Macdonald, twice who suggested submitting this petition.
