The DDA was superseded by the Equality Act.

So that means, councils at the moment cannot force owners to buy a WAV until the bill is set in stone. (if it will ever be)

Councils can continue to suit themselves, as they have been doing for years.

Well CC the way I see it under the DDA many councils jumped the gun and forced owners to buy a WAV,
Under the equality bill yet to be finalised owners could if they wish buy any vehicle of there choice as no set rule has been set into place.
So in a nut shell the doors are now wide open again so get in there get the vehicle you want before the door closes again

They didn't jump the gun, they decided via their democratic mandate to adopt a policy.

It wasn't the DDA that forced them, it was their option made available via the 1847 and 1976 acts.

This Equality Bill seems to have dragged on for ever, I bet if it were a Parliamentary pay rise it would have been done and dusted a week after its conception. :?

The Equality Bill is no-more it's an Act.

Will the % section ever be adopted, who knows?

But if the Law Commission have their way then it will never be needed.
