Allow food delivery couriers to park and drive in loading/unloading areas

Petition Details

Currently only parcel delivery companies such as DPD, UPS, Fed-Ex etc are permitted to use loading and unloading bays and drive through pedestrian zones without being punished.

Additional Information

We ask that the government to extend the rule so that independent couriers such as Just Eat, Deliveroo, Ubereats, Stuart, My Hermes, Amazon Flex can use loading bays and drive through pedestrian zones to collect orders since most businesses are within town centres with parking located miles away. Under the current law these independent couriers face fines and points if caught. Where-as other couriers such as DPD, Royal Mail, Fed-Ex, UPS, HGVs for shop drops are exempt from fines.
