Pavement parking: Call for ban to improve school run safety
Mr Glover said figures from the UK National Travel Survey showed that the percentage of children walking or cycling to school had declined from 67% in 1975/76 to 47% in 2023.He said he wanted active travel on the school run to be "normal" rather than the "eccentric exception" and called for better infrastructure, more cycle training for young people and a ban on pavement parking."We can empower young people to walk, wheel or cycle to school by providing them with the confidence to do it, in the form of Bikeability, external, and putting in measures to keep them safe such as those around pavement parking and infrastructure and street design improvements," he said.
