Pavement parking consultation response
Tabled 16 September 2025 by Helen Maguire
That this House regrets the failure of successive Governments to respond in full to the consultation entitled Pavement parking: options for change, which closed on 22 November 2020, despite widespread evidence of the dangers caused by pavement parking and overwhelming public support for reform; notes that this delay has left many older people, people with disabilities, families with young children, and those with sight loss without safe access to pavements; calls on the Secretary of State for Transport to publish the Government’s formal response without further delay; further calls on the Minister for Roads to introduce legislation to institute a default national prohibition of pavement parking in England, with sensible local exemptions where necessary, and for civil enforcement powers to be granted to local authorities; and urges the Government to lay out a clear timetable for implementation of these reforms.
