Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, why his Department has not published its response to the consultation on managing pavement parking; and when he plans to publish a response to that consultation.

The Department consulted on measures to address inconsiderate pavement parking in 2020 and received over 15,000 responses. We have been considering all views expressed, including from those with vision impairments, and the options for managing pavement parking. This is a complex issue and we want to ensure that local authorities have appropriate and effective tools at their disposal. We will publish the formal consultation response and announce next steps as soon as possible.
