What the petition asks

This week an ambulance was parked on double yellow lines at a Tesco store while the paramedics went in to get water on their ‘break’ whilst still on call. The ambulance received a parking ticket because it wasn’t parked in a bay within the car park.
Check out the video of the ambulance recieving a ticket here.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

This would be a decision for supermarkets to make, not the UK Government or Parliament.

Emergency services to be exempt from parking tickets or charges while on duty.
