Legislate to ban vehicles parking on pavements

What the petition asks

Legislate to ban parking on pavements on public roads. In our area, we have an issue of narrow streets with a public park with no parking facilities other than the surrounding streets which cause congestion as residents cannot park. You cannot go out. This must happen in many areas.

The Government need to act on this as people end up walking in the middle of the road with children and prams we are waiting for an accident to happen. We have a Council bus that regularly is unable to access roads to drop off children returning from their schooling. Our local Council appear to not want to do anything as the answer is "IT SLOWS VEHICLES DOWN"! On numerous occasions, if a fire engine was required to an address it would not be able to access due to the quality of parking.
