New section 21B of CSDPA 1970: Recognised badges treated as badges under section 21 for certain purposes
112.New section 21B provides for, or enables, concessions which currently apply in respect of GB blue badges to apply in respect of recognised badges. Those concessions may be concessions in or by virtue of local authority orders which would otherwise restrict parking or waiting (to which orders, among others, section 21B(2)(a) relates), or orders designating parking places for the use of disabled people (to which orders, among others, section 21B(2)(b) relates).
113.New section 21B(3) will enable this equality of treatment between GB and recognised badge holders to be extended for such other purposes as may be prescribed: this may extend to provisions which grant concessions in respect of road use as well as those which grant concessions in respect of parking.
