Father pushes "Gabe's Law" for Liverpool car park safety

The father of a teenager who died in a car park fall believes a law change is closer after meeting with government ministers. This potential legislation, known as Gabe's Law, aims to increase car park barrier heights. Johnny Santer, whose son Gabriel died in 2020, is advocating for the law after a meeting with the building safety minister. The proposed bill would raise car park barrier heights to 2.7 meters, up from the current 1.1-meter minimum. The bill, initially proposed in 2023, faced uncertainty after the general election. However, the government has now confirmed it will review the bill and seek evidence, offering renewed hope for families.
