Stop the closure of Derby DrivAbility on 31/03/2026.

Stop the closure of Derby DrivAbility on 31/03/2026. — 11 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

This must be debated in Parliament. It is fundamental to road safety to ensure that all road users are safe to drive following a DVLA notifiable condition. Government must maintain this service either by finding a new provider or supporting the UHDB NHS Trust to make a U-turn on their decision.

Additional details

We assess fitness to drive following medical investigations/diagnosis to determine whether a medical condition is affecting road safety. This closure will result in many clients/patients not being able to access the support they need, losing their freedom and independence, and negatively affecting their mental health and well-being. It will also result in people continuing to drive that should have surrendered their license, impacting on their own safety and a danger to other road users.
