Give permits for parent and child bays to stop the misuse of these spaces

Petition Details

I am calling on the government to introduce a permit that allows access to parent and child parking bays from 20 weeks of pregnancy until the child turns 8 years old. Pregnant individuals and parents of young children may face mobility and safety challenges that require accessible parking.

Additional Information

In the later stages of pregnancy and throughout early childhood, we think additional space and proximity to entrances are essential for safety and accessibility. We think this permit would support the practical needs of expectant mothers and parents managing young children, ensuring safer, more equitable access to essential facilities and stop this misuse of these bays.
