Relocate Parent & Child spaces away from store entrances to reduce misuse
Rejected
12 signatures
What the petition asks
The parent & child space initiative is widely implemented in many supermarkets, shopping centres and retail parks. The spaces are located close to the store, which leads to non parents using the wider parent & child spaces, then parents with children struggling in standard spaces.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
This is a decision for individual retailers and car park operators, not the Government or Parliament.
