Proceeding contribution from Scott Arthur (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 21 April 2026. It occurred during Debate on bill on English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill.
English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill
Any progress on banning pavement parking is progress, so I absolutely welcome that. Will guidance be given to local authorities on how that could work? We have a ban in Edinburgh, which has been transformative, so hopefully we can look there for examples of how it could work. The Minister mentioned exemptions. Will the Government mandate any exemptions centrally, or is it entirely up to local authorities to make that decision?
