Parking: Pedestrian Areas
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she plans to take steps to (a) allow local authorities with civil parking enforcement powers to enforce against unnecessary obstruction of the pavement and (b) enable highways authorities outside London to introduce a pavement parking prohibition.
Answered by Lilian Greenwood
In 2020, the Department undertook a public consultation on options for changing the way pavement parking is managed outside London. We are considering the views received to inform the Government’s next steps for pavement parking policy.
The formal consultation response will be available to view in due course at: www.gov.uk/government/consultations/managing-pavement-parking.
