Pavement parking: Blind man reveals the dangers<\/h3>\n

Rishi Sunak is \u201ccarefully considering\u201d tightening up parking rules which could see a national ban on cars stopping on the pavement.<\/p>\n

Officials stressed pavement parking was a \u201ccomplex\u201d issue which was still being looked at ahead of potential rule changes.<\/p>\n

The Government held a consultation on the future of pavement parking back in 2020 but has yet to issue an official response.<\/p>\n

Transport chiefs were forced into delivering an update on the new driving laws after a Parliament petition called for a widespread ban to be introduced.<\/p>\n

The poll passed the 10,000 threshold for a reply with over 12,400 people now backing the campaigner’s demands.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Responding to the petition the Department for Transport explained: \u201cThis highly important issue is complex and involves many conflicting factors.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Government needs to get this right and is carefully considering the issues before deciding the way forward.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Minister recognises the importance of this issue to all pedestrians. The Department received over 15,000 detailed responses to the consultation including tens of thousands of open comments. Every single response has been analysed and we have been giving careful consideration to the findings.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to take the right step for communities and ensure that local authorities have appropriate and effective tools at their disposal. We are working through the options and how they can be delivered. Once this is concluded we will publish our formal response to the consultation.<\/p>\n
