Make it illegal across the country to park on and obstruct the pavement.

What the petition asks

We want the government to make it illegal and fine cars or vans that are parked on and obstruct a pavement.
We feel that help is needed for people who use mobility scooters and pushchairs, people with disabilities and children.

We think the government need to step up and sort this out ASAP. We believe it's going to get worse. Some people find they have got to walk in the road to get by, because a car is in the way on the path that is meant for pedestrians.
