Patel and Gallagher become Disabled Motoring UK trustees

Disabled Motoring UK has named two leading parking professionals, Anjna Patel MBE and Tom Gallagher, as trustees.

The charity works with government and businesses across the UK to improve parking, refuelling, and access provision for disabled people, so that they can access the goods and services that they need.

Anjna Patel MBE is parking lead at Sandwell Council, a former president and chair of the British Parking Association.

Tom Gallagher is head of parking at London’s Ealing Council and a driving force behind the annual Blue Badge Day of Action.

Other new appointments to the charity’s board include David Fowler and Margaret Oldham OBE.

Graham Footer, chief executive of DMUK, said: “Their passion, experience and shared commitment to making transport more accessible is truly encouraging.
“With our new trustees on board, we’re more energised than ever to champion the rights of disabled motorists, push for better policies and create meaningful, lasting change.”
