answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/10/2022 answer text <p>Responsibility for traffic management on local roads and the provision or restriction of on-street parking, rests with the relevant local authority as they are best placed to consider how to balance the needs of residents, emergency services, local businesses and those who work in and visit the area. Local authorities are also responsible for ensuring their roads are managed in a way which meets the Public Sector Equality Duty under the Equality Act 2010.</p><p>The Blue Badge Scheme is a national scheme, the scope and legal parameters of which are set nationally by the Government. Blue Badges are recognised throughout the UK. The provisions granted under the Scheme convey several on-street parking concessions such as being able to park for up to three hours on yellow lines, provided there are no bans on loading or unloading in force, and free of charge and without time limit at on-street parking meters and pay-and-display areas.</p><p>The Blue Badge is not, however, a licence to park anywhere. Badge holders are not entitled to park in places where it would cause an obstruction or danger to other road users otherwise, they may be prosecuted or have their badge withdrawn. The Department is currently not intending to make any changes to this.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Torbay answering member printed Kevin Foster question first answered 24/10/2022 09:01:58 answering member 4451 label Biography information for Kevin Foster

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/09/2022 answer text <p>Passengers should have access to a ticketing system that is user-friendly, where help and advice from a trained representative is available and is accessible to all. While no final decision has been taken on ticket offices, station staff will still provide face-to-face services on the railways, which can be crucial for those who need additional support, and cannot or do not want to use contactless or mobile tickets. We want to ensure that railway staff can help all customers where needed and our reforms will enable us to move staff out of underused ticket offices and provide help where it's most needed in the station.</p> answering member constituency Torbay answering member printed Kevin Foster question first answered 14/09/2022 10:34:43 answering member 4451 label Biography information for Kevin Foster
