Disabled bay parking fines
PROPOSED legislation that would see people fined up to £60 for wrongly parking in disabled bays has moved a step closer to becoming law.
The plans, brought forward in a bill by the Labour MSP Jackie Baillie, have been given the go-ahead in principle from Holyrood's local government committee. Currently, 85 per cent of disabled parking bays are not legally enforceable.
The change will make it easier for councils to designate bays as disabled. But, despite approving the general principals of the bill, MSPs on the committee have questioned the cost and timescale.
