Parking: Pedestrian Areas

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will take steps to help tackle pavement parking in Devon.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood

Local authorities can already make use of existing powers to restrict and enforce pavement parking. The Department for Transport has also been carefully considering the responses to the previous government’s pavement parking consultation, including 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.
