The UK Government has recently published its pavement parking consultation and set out the intention to give local authority powers to act against unnecessary obstruction of pavements.
The Welsh Government endorses this approach, and we are in discussions with the UK Government on how it can be applied in Wales. The outcome, hopefully, of the discussions will mean that Wales, should we wish to join, can introduce a traffic contravention for pavement parking subject to civil enforcement.
