Fund free parking for key workers at their places of work
I want to speak about fairness, recognition, and practical support for the people who keep our communities running: our key workers. Key workers are not a luxury. They are a necessity. They are nurses, paramedics, teachers, social workers, carers, police officers, firefighters and support staff.
For shift workers, public transport is not always a viable option. Early morning starts, late-night finishes, carrying equipment, travelling between sites, or responding to urgent calls often make driving a necessity — not a choice. Some councils already provide concessions for residents, businesses, and visitors in various circumstances. We think free parking permits for verified key workers is both administratively feasible and socially responsible.
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.
