MPs must vote for tough action to stop the scourge of parking on our pavements which blights most of the country, says pedestrian campaign group Living Streets, as Cheltenham MP Martin Horwood’s Pavement Parking Bill receives its second reading in the House of Commons.
Over two thirds (69%)1 of the public are in favour of a national law says Living Streets, who are part of a coalition of charities including Guide Dogs, Age UK and the RNIB supporting the Bill to make pavement parking illegal in England and Wales. Pavement parking is prohibited in London, but rules vary in the rest of the country.
Living Streets’ Chief Executive Joe Irvin said:
“Pavement parking is a danger to all pedestrians, forcing
them to walk in the road and damaging the footway and creating trip hazards.
But it is particularly dangerous for people with sight impairment, mobility
problems or parents with buggies.”
What problems have you experienced?
