TheBlindJournalist: Parking Petition


Mohammed Salim Patel                                    14th April 2013                                     Parking

Politics student creates e-petition to introduce penalty points on driving licenses for parking in disabled bays without blue badges.

Stephen Anderson, 22 of Harrow, North West London has started an electronic petition to stop the abuse of parking in disabled bays without disabled badges as it is becoming an ever heightened issue for the disabled community. This abuse of bays which have been especially designated for people with disabilities is resulting in hardship and frustration for the disabled.

Although it is illegal to park in disabled bays without a blue badge, the London born youngster aims that through his e-petition he can ensure that drivers who do commit this action receive penalty points on their driving licenses.

Mr Anderson says:
"Disabled people such as myself should be able to park where we are legally entitled to, without worrying about lazy people cutting corners, literally"

The e-petition has currently received 37 signatures with its deadline on 25th March 2014 at 9.49AM..

The e-petition can be signed at:
