Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will introduce a ban on pavement parking in town centres outside of London.

The Department for Transport has been considering all the views expressed in response to the consultation in 2020 and is currently working through the policy options and the appropriate means of delivering them. As soon as the Government has decided its preferred way forward, we will announce the next steps and publish our formal response. In the meantime, local authorities can make use of existing powers to manage pavement parking.
