one small step, one giant leap

I recently joined Mobilise, a UK charity that promotes mobility for disabled people. I attended the council's Environment Cabinet Member Meeting last Thursday to see the minor policy u-turn on car-free developments.
Previously, the council had a blunt policy such that all residents in some buildings in Controlled Parking Zones were banned from having a residents parking permit. This prevented disabled people getting one too.
Now, blue badge holders can get them.
