Consultation - Proposed Responsible Parking (Scotland) Bill
Please find below a consultation document on the Proposed Responsible Parking (Scotland) Bill.
The Bill aims to allow all pedestrians to travel along the pavement and cross roads free from obstructions caused by vehicles which in extreme cases can leave people trapped inside their homes.
The bill proposes to introduce a Scotland wide ban on parking at dropped kerbs, on the pavement and double parking. There will be exceptions on the face of the bill such as for streets with extra wide pavements, and Local Authorities will be able to make exemptions based on local circumstances.
The consultation runs until 30 June and your views are vital to ensuring we create the best possible legislation.
