widen parking spaces nationwide
parking spaces are too narrow, especially in recent times when drivers are preferring bigger vehicles (i.e. SUVs). With current parking spaces size vehicles very often get indentations and scratches from other vehicles parked nearby. It would make a lot of sense to widen spaces at least by 10 inches
it can be noticed very easily that if someone tries to park a vehicle on the very side of a space at one end of an array of spaces, the next driver parking to the next space tends to park away as much as possible from the other empty space next to it. This proves that there is a tendency to protect the vehicle. The nowadays size of parking spaces is too outdated. It would have been enough 50 years ago when sizes of cars were tiny.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Parking spaces are the responsibility of private car park owners or local councils.
If you're concerned about the size of parking spaces owned 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:
