The answer

Answered by Stewart Stevenson on 11 Nov 2009 · 14 days after it was lodged, on time

The implementation of the Disabled Persons'' Parking Places (Scotland) Act 2009 is a matter for local authorities, not the Scottish Government.
The provisions of the act state that local authorities have until 30 September 2010 to initiate the statutory process for disabled parking spaces that they wish to make enforceable, and to remove those advisory disabled spaces that are no longer needed. In 2011, local authorities must report to Scottish ministers outlining their completed implementation process and then on an annual basis thereafter.
