Ban all pavement advertising signs.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

74 year old male with a disabled wife.

Pavements are getting cluttered up all over the country with advertising "A" boards/signs which are a great nuisance to people having to avoid them. They cause congestion on busy pavements, they cause a problem for disabled people, they are a danger to blind people, in general they are not really needed.

Why it was rejected

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

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. Local authorities are responsible for ensuring the public can use roads and pavements. They already have the power to ban "A" boards from pavements under the Highways Act 1980.

You could raise your issue with a local councillor who represents you. You can use this page to find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them:
