EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Disabled Persons (Badges for Motor Vehicles) (Scotland) Regulations 2000 (“the 2000 Regulations”). Those Regulations deal with what is known as the “blue badge” scheme.
Regulation 3 inserts a new regulation 9A into the 2000 Regulations. Regulation 9A provides for the return to its holder of a blue badge which has been retained by a constable or enforcement officer on the ground that it was being displayed on a vehicle other than in accordance with the 2000 Regulations.
Regulation 4 inserts a new regulation 10A into the 2000 Regulations. Regulation 10A requires a local authority to review (on request) any decision made by it that a person is not eligible for a blue badge.
Regulation 5 amends paragraph 1 in Part IIIA of the Schedule to the 2000 Regulations so as to delete certain requirements as to the form of a blue badge.
