However, all local authorities have statutory duties to ensure that they do not discriminate in their decision making against older people or those with vulnerabilities. Cash remains legal tender and it will continue to be used by people who favour its accessibility and ease. Local authorities should ensure that there are alternative provisions for parking payments available so that no part of society is digitally excluded.</p> answering member constituency Nottingham North and Kimberley answering member printed Alex Norris question first answered 12/11/2024 15:26:04 answering member 4641 label Biography information for Alex Norris
