We are calling on the Government to:

Publish the five-year-old consultation results
Commit to nationwide legislation with proper enforcement
Launch an awareness campaign to make drivers think twice
Headline and subtext reads: "Enforce Any New Laws. New laws should be subject to enforcement with exemptions in specific circumstances to ensure public safety e.g. for ambulances" Three candles on the birthday cake are blown out with the flames replaced by smokey wisps. Headline and subtext reads: "Campaign for Awareness. The government should campaign to raise awareness highlighting the impact of pavement parking and make drivers aware of the problems to pedestrians." There are now four candles blown out on the birthday cake with their flames replaced by four smokey wisps.

Cars on pavements force people with sight loss into harms way, risking injury and stripping away independence.  82% of blind and partially sighted people say pavement parking stops them making safe journeys. It is time for change.
Headline and subtext reads: "Tackle Pavement Parking. Many blind and partially sighted people are forced to walk onto the road and risk injury, putting our lives into danger due to cars parked on the pavement. We want the government to tackle pavement parking.' The birthday cake now has one candle blown out and a smokey wisp replaces the flame. Headline and subtext reads: "Publish Results. We want the government to publish the results of the pavement parking consultation and set out plans for legislation to regulate pavement parking." The birthday cake now has two candles blown out with two smokey wisps replacing the flames.
