Parking: Pedestrian Areas

Asked by Mrs Elsie BlundellLabourDepartment for TransportTabled Answered 3 March 2025UIN 32666

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she has had recent discussions with the Mayor of Greater Manchester on pavement parking.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood

In 2020, the Department undertook a public consultation on options for changing the way pavement parking is managed outside London. When the Government has decided its preferred way forward this will be announced along with publication of a formal response to the consultation. In the meantime, local authorities can make use of existing powers to manage pavement parking.
