Reason for this Petition
To the Speaker and Member of the Legislative Assembly for the Australian Capital Territory:
This petition of certain residents of the Australian Capital Territory draws to the attention of the Assembly that the Watson shops have only two disability parking bays and one of them is angled parking. This creates difficulties for people with limited mobility who need to access the shops, including pharmacy, particularly if unloading mobility scooters.
Your petitioners therefore request the Assembly to call upon the ACT Government to provide at least two kerbside disability parking bays near the pharmacy on Gwynne Street, to allow easier access for those with limited mobility.
