The national ban came into force in December last year following the implementation of the Transport Act 2019 which introduced the statutory framework for a ban on pavement parking, double parking and parking at dropped kerbs.Stage one - audit of streets - is a study which is currently underway to identify streets where exemptions, which are assessed by the local authority and applied to an individual street, are not required.

Stage three - implementation/enforcement - which shows that the latest estimate for pavement parking fines to be imposed is by September 2024.
