Each town, City and village has differing problems so rather than the popular view of a total blanket ban, each county or borough should adopt one of a set of approved systems in consultation with disabled groups town planners, local residents, businesses and the emergency services.

Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you are concerned about pavement parking, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
Local authorities and the police may act to tackle on-street and pavement parking in various ways, such as under legislation governing obstruction and dangerous parking; designating limited areas of ‘no pavement parking’ through a Traffic Regulation Order (TRO); or establishing a special parking area.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
