Flashpark
We are all well aware of the difficulties disabled drivers face when their disabled parking spaces get abused.
Disabled parking on private property falls outside the scope of the Road Traffic Act 1991.
This activity can now be reported online.
A motorist using a disabled bay without the appropriate badge can now be reported online and receive a parking charge notice.
Flashpark is a free parking enforcement service for private property and links to the DVLA.

'Safe Travel for All' initiative
Transport for London, working with the Metropolitan Police Service, British Transport and City of London Police are looking to promote safer travel for individuals who are, or consider themselves, disabled and who face barriers to travel arising from concerns about crime and anti-social behaviour. As part of the wider 'Safe Travel for All' initiative, TFL would like to establish ongoing relationships with support groups and forums in order to identify and understand the travel concerns of disabled people of different ages and take positive action where appropriate. Local transport policing teams may have contacted you already, but if not and your group would be interested in meeting or speaking with them, then please contact the relevant team.
