What the petition asks
Everyone should have fair and equal access to all services. But we believe people who are not online - including many older and disabled people - are being overlooked. We want the Government to make it a legal requirement to provide offline access to all services.
For those who aren’t or choose not to be online it can be more difficult to do basic things like booking a medical appointment or paying for parking.
We want all services to be required to offer an offline option - such as post, phone or face to face and to accept cash - to help avoid disadvantaging people who are not online.
