Parking: Pedestrian Areas

Asked by Greg SmithConservativeDepartment for TransportTabled Answered 19 September 2025UIN 76841

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether her Department plans to release the representative sample of local authorities it plans to consult on pavement parking research.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood

The Department has been considering all the views expressed in response to the 2020 pavement parking 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. The new research announced last week will not delay this; my officials are finalising its terms now. Findings will be published within 12 weeks of agreeing final outputs, per Government Social Research protocols.
