Parking on Pavements

Debate between Lord Low of Dalston and Baroness Sugg

Monday 11th February 2019 Lords Chamber

[Lord Low of Dalston (CB)]

My Lords, I recently heard about someone who was knocked down on a pavement by a powered mobility scooter. She fell and broke her wrist. Does the noble Baroness agree that there is a need for tighter regulation of vehicles on pavements?

[Baroness Sugg]

My Lords, this is something that we are looking at. With the advent of new technology we are seeing new vehicles on the pavement. That will be one of our considerations when we look at the law on this.
