Ban trolleys from using specified pram and wheelchair spaces on public transport

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Ban trolleys from taking up priority spaces from prams and wheelchair users
I want trolleys to be banned from taking up pram and wheelchair spaces on public transport due to the community being unable to use those specified spaces for those needs.

Why it was rejected

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

Wheelchair users have priority over space allocated for wheelchair users as it is the only place they can travel safely.

Decisions about how this space can be used by other passengers are a matter for individual bus operators, not the UK Government or Parliament.
