Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 11 June 2021 to Question 10598 on Parking: Pedestrian Areas, when he plans to publish a response to the Department’s pavement parking consultation; and whether he has made an assessment of the potential impact of the consultation on the progress of the Pavement Parking Bill.

Local councils already have powers to regulate pavement parking if necessary. We are reviewing the outcome of the consultation and the various options for tackling pavement parking in order to ensure that local authorities have the most appropriate tools at their disposal. We will publish the formal consultation response and announce next steps as soon as possible. There is no future stage currently scheduled for the Pavement Parking Bill that was introduced into the House of Lords on 20 January 2020.
