Rejected petition Make all public car parking spaces bigger than they currently are

All to often car drivers are hitting the parked car next to them with the doors whilst trying to enter or exit their car because the spaces are not wide enough. A normal sized car can just fit in between the lines but extra space for opening the doors has not been thought about.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

Most public car parking spaces are the responsibility of individual local councils.

You could start a new petition asking for the UK Government to amend the planning guidance to increase the minimum size for car parking spaces, or for a specific minimum size to be made mandatory by law.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
