This practice needs to be stopped. If there isn't enough road space then there needs to be less parking. Pavements blocked by vehicles are a real problem for disabled. Or does convenient parking trump disabled rights? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...bbc.co.ukPavement parking allowed by half of councils in EnglandDisability charities say the practice makes streets harder to navigate for wheelchair users and people with limited sight. 25716

Disability IN-CLUSIVE sustainable & active travel -- Exeter @in-clusive.bsky.social · 26/06/20265/IN-CLUSIVE recommends that one metric of success should be an increase in the number of cycle parking areas - quantifying and reducing the current gaps in provision.

Reposted by Disability IN-CLUSIVE sustainable & active travel -- ExeterJon Owen @anotherjon.bsky.social · 05/04/2026My guess? The council placed this in response to residents' complaints about antisocial motorbike use. But pedal cycles & legal pedal assisted e-bikes increasingly come in many forms (not just narrow bicycles),.. ..frequently ridden by disabled people. So this may be a breach of the Equality Act. 081
