Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government when they plan to publish a response to the Managing pavement parking consultation, which ran from 31 August 2020 to 22 November 2020; and what assessment they have made of the merits of a ban on pavement parking to make it easier for those with a disability to walk or wheel on pavements.

The Department consulted on measures to address pavement parking in 2020 and the options included a nationwide pavement parking ban. The consultation received over 15,000 responses. We have been considering all views expressed, including from those with walking impairments or using a wheelchair. Ministers are reviewing the outcome of the consultation and the options for tackling pavement parking so that the best possible conclusion for all road users can be reached. We will publish the formal consultation response and announce next steps as soon as possible.
