Pavement parking

Afzal Khan Excerpts

Wednesday 24th May 2023 Commons Chamber

[Afzal Khan (Manchester, Gorton) (Lab)]

I rise to present this petition about pavement parking in Manchester, Gorton, which disrupts my constituents daily, particularly those who have mobility impairments, those who are blind or partially sighted, and those who are neurodiverse.

The petition states:

The petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urge the Government to respond to the consultation ‘pavement parking: options for change’ and begin the process of instituting a default ban on pavement parking across England.

And the petitioners remain, etc.

Following is the full text of the petition:

[The petition of councillors representing wards in the Manchester, Gorton constituency

Declares that parking on the pavement has a significant negative impact on people who are mobility impaired, blind or partially sighted, are neurodivergent, and parents and children.

The petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urge the Government to respond to the consultation ‘pavement parking: options for change’ and begin the process of instituting a default ban on pavement parking across England.

And the petitioners remain, etc.]
