Take action against pavement parking

Nationwide Campaigns – 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, Walk Wheel Cycle Trust and Transport for All for new laws to end pavement parking across the UK.

In Scotland, a pavement parking ban was passed into law in 2019; of which as of 13 November 2025, 21 out of 32 local authorities in Scotland are actively enforcing pavement, dropped kerb & double-parking restrictions. In Wales, a review of policy suggested local authorities may be granted new powers to tackle pavement parking, but progress has since stalled. While in England, new legislation enabling local leaders to prohibit pavement parking in their area will be passed into law during May 2026.
