Parking: Pedestrian Areas

Asked by Jessica ToaleLabourDepartment for TransportTabled Answered 11 November 2025UIN 88066

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will provide an update on the Government’s plans to address pavement parking; and if she will set out a timetable for when local authorities will be given further powers to tackle this issue.

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. Local authorities can make use of Traffic Regulation Order powers to manage pavement parking.
