Appendix E – Information provided by Midlothian Council

Midlothian Council: For the period between 1 April 2021 and 31 March 2022

Part 1, paragraph 2: ‘A report prepared by a local authority under section 11(1)(a) may contain any other information about its performance of its functions in relation to parking places for disabled persons' vehicles during the reporting period that the authority considers appropriate.’

Introduction

The Disabled Persons’ Parking Places (Scotland) Act 2009 (‘DPPP’) places duties on Councils in Scotland to provide enforceable parking places for disabled people whose vehicles display a valid ‘Blue Badge’.

DPPP requires each Council to prepare, publish and submit to Scottish Ministers an annual report recording the progress made to implement the Act in the preceding period.

Information which must be included in the report to Ministers is specified in detail in the Tables attached.

Implementation

One Traffic Order for 49 new DPPP parking places was completed in 2021/22, together with a further two Orders to remove 82 bays which are no longer needed.

A regular stream of new applications continues to be received from disabled people who experience difficulties in parking close to their homes – 117 such applications during 2021/2022.

The deteriorating staffing position within the Council has continued to cause acute difficulties in processing applications timeously and in handling promptly issues at controversial sites.  This has been compounded by chronic difficulties in getting approved bays painted, and redundant ones removed, within reasonable timescales.

The Council has abandoned its aspiration to take the line markings function in-house.  A new markings term contractor has been appointed, but it has taken a long time for them to get to grips with the accumulated backlog.

The slow rate of progress in getting new bays marked on-street has impacted on the rate at which these bays can be ‘legalised’ by inclusion in Orders, allowing active enforcement in the event of local disputes which cannot be resolved by mediation.  However the presence of the initial ‘advisory’ disabled bay markings is generally enough to resolve any local parking issues.

The specific information required by the Act is set out in the attached Tables.
