Make parking on pavements illegal

What the petition asks
It has become a pandemic where vehicles are parked half on and half off or completely blocking the footpath. This is very dangerous when people in wheelchairs, blind people and parents with children in prams, pushchairs etc have to walk in the road making it so that some people have been injured
The government need to make it LAW for any vehicle that parks on any footpath in the U.K. illegal because the majority of vehicle drivers do not care about wheelchair users, blind people and blind people with canines that help those who are completely blind and parents with pushchairs and prams, etc. This has now become a pandemic. I have personally watched people park on the footpath and completely block it just because they are to idle to walk an extra 1 meter The government needs to act now
