We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Ban the use of stiles on public and permissive footways to enable access for all
Stiles can make it difficult or impossible for many people with mobility difficulties to access permissive pathways and public rights of way. Stiles can also be difficult to use by other groups, such as parents carrying children.
More details
Permissive pathways and public rights of way should be open to all, particularly in places of public interest. Following a dispute with a landowner who recently replaced a gate with a stile, preventing many local people from accessing a pathway to a scheduled CADW monument, we discovered that many people across the UK were experiencing this problem. This has been a particular issue during the Covid-19 outbreak, when UK Governments advise us to exercise on our own doorstep.
