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 Exempt all Emergency Service workers from parking restrictions when on call
There are too many examples of Emergency Service workers having tickets put on their vehicles whilst they are out on a call, sometimes saving lives.
More details
These volunteers are putting their lives on the line for people, and it is unreasonable that they should face the jeopardy of a parking fine as a reward.
The law currently exempts any vehicle being used for emergency purposes from parking fines. This exemption should be extended to all NHS, police, fire brigade or lifeboat volunteers and permanent staff when working on call, emergency or not.
