The Transport (Scotland) Act has been in place since 2019, which includes a nation-wide ban of parking cars on pavements. But only in December 2023 were local councils across Scotland given the powers to enforce fines of up to £100 to people doing so. Some local councils are saying that they need more funding and resources to be able to conduct assessments of their streets and to implement enforcement. We put this to Scotland's Transport Minister Fiona Hyslop and we hear from visually impaired resident of Glasgow about how pavement parking impacts her everyday journeys.
Meanwhile, The Thomas Pocklington Trust are reigniting a decade-old campaign that calls for a similar ban across England. The Trust's head of public affairs and campaigns, Mike Bell tells us what they're calling for.
