Enforce Access Rights for disabled People

Additional Information

Blocking the pavement so wheelchairs cannot pass, blocking dipped kerbs, abusing disabled parking, blocking access to commercial premises due to disability or accompaniment by an assistance dog, - all these prevent disabled people from living a full and independent life.

Under the Equality Act, disabled people can only enforce their rights through civil action; companion legislation must provide for on the spot fines for Breach of the Peace just as is already provided if a person were to breach Racial, Sexual or Religious aspects of the law.

Persistent offenders should be charged with a hate crime.

Information needed to file a civil claim should be provided in presence of Breach of the Equality Act..
