Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government what work they are carrying out with disabled people and street design experts to update and implement inclusive pavement design standards.

Local authorities are responsible for managing their roads, including pavements, to meet Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED) under the Equality Act 2010. It is for them to ensure they are designed and maintained in a way that takes account of the needs of everyone.

The Department has produced a range of good practice guidance to help them in this, including in Inclusive Mobility, and regularly engages with a wide range of stakeholders including various disability groups.
