Petition for Parent/Child Parking Badges in the UK

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

I am calling for the introduction of official Parent/Child Parking Badges — similar to the Blue Badge system for families with children up to their 16th birthday.

Too often, parent/child spaces are misused by people without children, leaving families struggling to find safe, accessible parking.
These spaces are essential for unloading buggies, car seats, and giving kids space to get in and out safely.

A clear, regulated badge system would help ensure these bays are used properly and fairly.

Support the call for change, please sign and share!

Why it was rejected

Give permits for parent and child bays to stop the misuse of these spaces
