Parking: Pedestrian Areas

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether he has plans to undertake a review of the legislation on pavement parking.

Answer

Earlier this year, the Department for Transport completed a comprehensive review of pavement parking in England looking at the extent of the problem, the effectiveness of the current legislation and options for change. This review concluded shortly before the announcement of the Transport Select Committee’s inquiry into pavement parking in April 2019.

The Department for Transport is considering the conclusions of the Transport Select Committee’s inquiry, alongside the findings of its own review, before deciding upon any course of action to tackle the problem of pavement parking.
