Exempt Blue Badge drivers from Low Traffic Neighbourhoods
The Government must make it MANDATORY to include in the DVLA Vehicle Registration Database, along with name & address of vehicle owner, an exemption marker for those with Blue Badges or life-threatening conditions, from Low Traffic Neighbourhoods and time restrictions without a clear justification.
This information must be used by all local Councils & private enforcement companies so as not to issue PCNs to these drivers. It must be at a national level and not on a local level since I believe most Councils are dysfunctional and fragmented with many people working from home. Being fined causes physical hardship, anxiety, even mental health issues & we believe is discriminatory under the Equality Act 2010. It’s wrongly assumed that many disabled people can walk or cycle. We’re not invisible.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
This petition will be debated in Parliament on Monday 20th May 2024
