P-05-935 Ban Pavement Parking - Pavement Promise, Correspondence – Petitioner to Committee, 29.06.20

Thank you for your email and the attached documents.

I feel that the attached documents are very informative and highlight views from a number of different backgrounds.

I am pleased that there is a large number of individuals from a variety of organisations on the task force.

I feel it is good to have a variety so that those whom may not feel confident discussing the issues can be heard through others.

I hope that having the task  force and allowing the organisations involved to express their views will raise more awareness and understanding.

It is mentioned in one document that an awareness campaign is considered.

We have highlighted during our campaign that more awareness and understanding is needed.

The use of social media has given a lot of good feedback in new understanding of the issue.

I feel that awareness should start from a young age, to then take the knowledge through life.

I am pleased that the documents show that the issue can impact on everyone in different ways.

What we have tried to highlight and feel needs to be a big part in this going forward is that this is to allow people to maintain their independence and also for the future generations to come.

It is important that everyone has equal opportunities.

Those who may not have the luxury of driving or choose to stay healthy on foot should not be put at risk or danger.

It is noted in the results from the living streets survey that there is a lack of trust in the local authorities to enforce this issue.

How will you ensure that enforcement is carried out and how will reporting an issue be carried out?.

I agree that a lack of parking is an issue that needs to be addressed.

This is something I have previously discussed during the campaign.

What is an estimated time frame on the decision of the task force findings to be put in place?.

The next general election for the National Assembly of Wales is approaching next year.

Will this issue stay focused on to help improve our country and to keep everyone safe?.

I am pleased that a serious response to this is happening and heading towards keeping Wales a safer place for everyone.
