Guide Dogs Campaign

Pavement Parking - action needed

Cars blocking pavements are a problem for everyone, but are particularly dangerous for people with sight loss, wheelchair users and older people. The UK Government launched a consultation on ways to tackle pavement parking over four years ago, yet no further progress has been made. That's why we're writing to the political party leaders asking them to take action to tackle pavement parking.

Will you sign our open letter to ensure everyone can walk their streets safely?

Your first name and town will be added to the open letter and may be shared publicly.

"Dear Party Leaders,

We are writing to you to ask you to prioritise taking action on pavement parking.

Cars blocking pavements are a problem for everyone, but are particularly dangerous for people with sight loss, wheelchair users and older people.

Pavement parking is consistently highlighted as one of the key challenges for people with a vision impairment; 81 per cent of people with sight loss said that reducing obstacles on pavements and street clutter was important to improving their quality of life."
