Rejected petition Fine those parking in parent and child bays without children & specify age limit

Parent and child parking spaces are few and far between, but are continually abused by people using them for the convenience of how close they are to shops. Spaces are required for ease of access getting our child in and out of the car. Adults with their parents parking there too; is not acceptable.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The Government is not responsible for parent and child spaces.

If these spaces are in private car parks (eg. in a supermarket), it is the responsibility of the car park owner or operator to enforce any rules about their use.

If the space is in a carp park operated by your local council, you could raise your issue with a local councillor, who represents you. You can use this page to find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them:
