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?

Personally I have no idea.

But my point is that the % will only apply to councils that restrict.

If the Law Commission suggest getting rid of restrictions, then the % provisions in the EQ Act will never come into being.

This was talked about more than 3 years ago and it is as most people here have said - places with 100% wav are unaffected by new law.
