Ensure all play parks are disabled user friendly.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

To provide bigger, disabled friendly swings and wheelchair friendly roundabouts.

I have taken less abled children to my local park and quite a few in my surrounding area and the lack of equipment for these individuals is unfair. As the ones who are older don’t fit in the toddler swings and are too unsteady to be on an older child’s swing. Also if an individual is in a wheelchair they can not access the roundabouts.

Why it was rejected

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

Provision of local play parks is a matter for individual local authorities, not the Government or House of Commons.

You could raise this 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: https://www.gov.uk/find-your-local-councillors

We could accept a petition calling on the Government to provide additional funding to local authorities to help them improve provision at play parks for people with disabilities.
