SIR – Given the problems we pedestrians have with cars parking on our pavements, I was pleased to hear that Simon Hoare MP’s Private Members Bill had its first reading in the House of Commons last week.
The bill is supported by the charity Guide Dogs and if passed the act will come into force next year, allowing local authorities to prohibit parking on pavements in all areas, although certain streets could be exempted.
If implemented the bill will in particular benefit the blind and visually impaired, the disabled, and mums and dads with buggies.
