The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what discussions she has had with local authorities in Surrey on pavement parking powers.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood

The Secretary of State has not had any discussions with local authorities in Surrey on this matter.

The Department has been considering all the views expressed in response to the consultation and is currently working through the policy options and the appropriate means of delivering them. As soon as the Government has decided its preferred way forward, we will announce the next steps and publish our formal response. In the meantime, local authorities can make use of existing powers to restrict and enforce pavement parking.
