Provide parents with babies/young kids with a badge for parent and child bays

Closed 39 signatures

What the petition asks

I want the Government to provide badges, just like Blue Badges, to parents with babies and young children to park in parent and child bays. This is to prevent people without babies or young children parking in the allocated bays for parents.
I want these badges issued to prevent people without children parking in the allocated bays for parents. I have seen first hand people without children parking in these bays leaving those with children struggling to find spaces big enough. These people wouldn’t park in a disabled bay as they need a badge but you don’t need one for parent and child bays. Therefore I believe issuing these badges will prevent people from parking in these essential spaces for parents.
