The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps she plans to take to help tackle pavement parking in Newcastle upon Tyne.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood

The Department held a consultation on pavement parking in 2020 and 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. We will announce the next steps and publish our formal response as soon as possible. In the meantime, Newcastle City Council can make use of existing powers to restrict and enforce pavement parking.
