Disabled parking bays during Covid-19

[Sarah_Mencap]

Hello

Our helpline has been made aware of this petition and I thought you might be interested.

"As you may be aware, a problem has developed since the outbreak of Covid with disabled parking bays. Many firms and councils are cordoning off disabled bays to use them for covid queueing. Unfortunately, many are providing no alternate parking. It’s causing a huge struggle for disabled people.

Gem Hubbard from “wheelsnoheels” YouTube channel has been interviewed by the media recently, appearing on breakfast TV and the Jeremy Vine radio show to try highlight the problem. "

Here is a link to Gem's petition -chng.it/BwMFPhZvGT

Best wishes

Hi Sarah the link isn’t working

Hello.

It is working for me. If you go to a page that says Redirect Notice it should work if you click on the link again.

Alternatively, just cut and paste the address chng.it/BwMFPhZvGT

I really hope this works for you. I can see that nearly 5000 people have signed now!

Best wishes

Sarah

Usually a link is in blue writing, this isn’t. Won’t let you click on it.

Hi. It is working for me too. If you can cut and paste the address you should be able to get there too.

I am so sorry this is working. I can't work out why as I can't recreate it. Please could typing in chng.it/BwMFPhZvGT into your address bar. I really hope this works for you.

Best wishes
