Proposed options to tackle pavement parking at a local authority or national level.

This consultation ran from
12:15am on 31 August 2020 to 11:59pm on 22 November 2020

Consultation description

Consultation asking whether a change of existing pavement parking legislation should occur.

We are proposing 3 options:

1. Improving the Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) process, under which local authorities can already prohibit pavement parking.

2. A legislative change to allow local authorities with civil parking enforcement powers to enforce against ‘unnecessary obstruction of the pavement’.

3. A legislative change to introduce a London-style pavement parking prohibition throughout England.
