Pavement Parking

We have launched an inquiry into #PavementParking. We will be looking at its impacts, enforcement of pavement parking offences and enforcement and reform of Traffic Regulation Orders. Let us know what you think here: parliament.uk/business/commi…

This isn't inconsiderate, it's dangerous. Doors open into traffic on a bend and blocking footpath. RG128YU @ThamesVP

@pjcf1fan And the motorists in some of these "hilarious" photos are breaking the law.

@pjcf1fan It's not about obstruction. It's about Council Tax payers paying for the damage caused by lazy selfish motorists.

@pjcf1fan Nope, it's paid out of Council Tax.

@pjcf1fan Why should my taxes be spent repairing damage to kerbs and verges caused by people who think they can park anywhere they like?

@getbracknell Parking on grass verges in Bracknell could get you a £500 fine. (Berkshire Act 1986, Section 11) flickr.com/photos/pavemen…

@DrPhillipLeeMP Please support the Pavement Parking Bill on Friday. It's chaos round here. services.parliament.uk/bills/2014-15/…

Bienvenido a @banquetalibre

@angrol No I don't because what appears to be going on here is not illegal. Parking cars on the grass is if there is a S11 notice.

A claim that there was "nowhere else to park" is not a legal excuse for contravention of a S11 prohibition, or any other parking restriction

@angrol Are you seriously suggesting that the lack of a convenient parking space is a legal excuse for committing an offence ?

@angrol I park where it is legal and I don't mind walking a few extra yards to my front door if that's what it means.

@angrol Why shld I pay to have smashed up kerbs repaired & verges replanted because motorists think they have the right to park anywhere?

This is why @bracknellforest needs to take off-road parking seriously. It's about 100m to the nearest road. flic.kr/p/cMSuAs

Great Hollands drivers will be fined if they part on the pavements. bit.ly/OFbsK4 #Bracknell
