Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
The purpose of these Regulations (together with related Regulations dealing with Exemptions for Disabled Persons) is to introduce a system of blue badges for disabled people from Wales that will be valid across the European Union to replace the current orange badge system.
Similar regulations are being made in the other parts of the United Kingdom pursuant to a Recommendation made by the Council of the European Union in 1998.
Regulation 2 specifies the meanings of terms used in these Regulations.
Regulation 3 brings to an end the effect of the previous regulations (Disabled Persons (Badges for Motor Vehicles) Regulations 1982 ) in Wales, apart from transitional arrangements described in this Regulation.
Regulation 4 prescribes the persons entitled to a badge and regulation 5 gives local authorities the right also to issue a badge to an institution.
Regulation 6 specifies the maximum fee that a local authority can charge (£2.00) and regulation 7 deals with the issue of replacement badges for those that have been lost etc.
Regulation 8 states when a local authority can give notice refusing to issue a badge and regulation 9 when it can give notice requiring one to be returned.
An individual or institution can appeal against such a notice to the National Assembly. The procedure for doing so is given in regulation 10.
Regulation 11 prescribes the form of Badge by reference to a Schedule and regulation 12 prescribes how it must be displayed.
Regulations 13 to 16 describe the circumstances when a badge may be displayed.
It is intended that further regulations be made that will set out the procedure for dealing with appeals under regulation 10 to the National Assembly, following appropriate consultation.
