Take action against pavement parking

Nationwide bans - campaign latest

Vehicles parked on the pavements force people onto the road. This is dangerous for everyone, but is a particular problem for blind and partially-sighted people, parents with pushchairs and young children, wheelchair users and others who use mobility aids. Read our policy position here. 

Living Streets is campaigning with allies such as Guide Dogs and British Parking Association for nationwide bans on pavement parking.

In Scotland, a ban passed into law in 2019 - but we are now fighting to ensure the ban is not undermined by weak guidelines. In Wales, local authorities may be granted new powers to tackle pavement parking. While in England, the Department for Transport consulted on a national ban in 2020 - and we are still awaiting the results.
