Speaking in the House of Lords on 22 October 2025

Debate

Planning and Infrastructure Bill

Contribution

Will we see the same restraint and care when there may be millions of cables crossing the pavement, not laid and protected by construction companies but as a result of some of the drivers who park on the pavement at the moment, who perhaps could not care less, or by the cyclists who drive on the pavement and dump their electric bikes there? I will say no more on that, but I urge the Government to ensure that, in future, if they have charging points on the pavement, they take steps to make sure that cables crossing the pavement are not dangerous for any disabled users, whether they are in wheelchairs, walking or blind. I hope that we can have assurances on that point.
