Parking: Discrimination
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether statutory protections exist to prevent indirect discrimination in parking provision.
Answered by Alex Norris
Both local authorities and private parking operators who provide parking are required under legislation, such as the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 and the Equality Act 2010, to make reasonable adjustments for disabled people and to provide them equal opportunities to access services.
Further to this, the single industry code reminds operators of the obligations placed on them by the Equality Act 2010. This is irrespective of contractual changes.
