answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/04/2017 answer text <p>The Department for Transport convened a roundtable meeting with external stakeholders, including some local authorities, in March 2016 following the withdrawal of my Hon Friend, the Hon Member for North Dorset’s (Simon Hoare) Private Member’s Bill, which sought to ban pavement parking nationally. A possible pavement parking ban in the rest of England outside London was discussed. However, it was identified at the roundtable that the major concerns affecting the ability to introduce and enforce a pavement parking prohibition were issues relating to the processing of Traffic Regulation Orders (TROs). We plan to launch a survey in summer 2017 in order to gather evidence about the current situation, the costs and timescales for processing TROs, and information about options for change.</p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 24/04/2017 14:27:33 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/11/2016 answer text <p>If the construction of the Garden Bridge were to be cancelled, the Department’s exposure to the project would be capped at £22.5 million. In such a scenario, the Department would be likely to claw back the unspent part of its original £30 million contribution from Transport for London by reducing a future GLA transport grant payment. The precise amount to be clawed back in this way would be determined after consultation with HM Treasury and the Mayor.</p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 18/11/2016 11:46:37 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones
