During a Westminster Hall debate on Wednesday, future of roads minister Lilian Greenwood signalled that a ban on pavement parking is imminent – or did she?
Well it looks like it could happen…some time in the future of roads.
Local news outlets such as Bristol Live report:
Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Transport, Lilian Greenwood, revealed that a policy announcement was imminent.
“Our work is helping us shape a policy that is not only effective but equitable. As a result of all that work, I expect to make an announcement very soon.”
Greenwood noted that the last government had sat on the issue for four years (after its consultation closed in November 2020) but said Labour, which came to power 14 months ago, was dealing with the matter as a matter of urgency.
“Very soon” sounds like good news. It’s such good news that Greenwood has said it (at least) twice.
