Push to expand parking ban as pedestrians hit out at ‘daily danger’
Charity Guide Dogs, a woman claiming to be “forced to traffic ın by the law, wants to ban the pavement parking lot throughout England.
London and Scotland are the only parts of the British pavement parking.
In 2020, the conservative government made suggestions to give the Councils to prohibit the lifting parking space for the rest of the UK, but there was no policy change.
The workers’ government said that they “new research” and “will be updated as soon as possible”.
In August, a Yougov questionnaire of 615 British Assembly members for guide dogs showed that 74 percent of areas without an open law supported the call for new powers.
More than eight of the 10 people participating in the survey thinks that the pavement park creates security risks for pedestrians, and that 51 percent of it is not practical to cop deal with the problem.
British councils outside London should consult and apply separate traffic arrangement orders to ban the pavement park on certain ways that may be a costly and time -consuming process.
A woman with a vision loss named Helen, who did not give her surname, said that the pavement parking lot was “a daily danger for blind people ve and that it was“ forced into traffic ”and that she was exposed to a broken wrist after a car wandering on the sidewalk.
Recently, he explained how transformation from Northumberland to Scotland was a transformation.
He said: “In Scotland, the sidewalks belong to people again, not vehicles. I was given freedom, independence and trust.
“Scotland has shown that it works. Now the rest of England should follow the rest.”
Eleanor Briggs, President of the Policy, Public Relations and Campaigns in Guidance Dogs, said: “Local leaders are open: the pavement park is insecure, the current system does not work in most of the country and everyone – especially those who have vision loss – there is a need for a clear law to ensure that they can travel safely to their streets.”
42 percent of the drivers participating in a recent RAC survey supported a open ban on the pavement park throughout the UK, while 41 percent asked the councils to be given harsh powers to easily ban the application on certain ways.
An transport spokesman department said: ız Our priority is to make everyone walk around as easy and accessible as possible and we are aware of the problems that the pavement parking lot can cause people throughout the country.
“Therefore, we have done new research to better understand the effect of the pavement park and to implement forward -looking studies.
“The government will continue to review the problem throughout the country and will be updated as soon as possible.”
