<p>Some offences relating to the parking of vehicles have not been decriminalised
and remain enforceable by the police in all circumstances, whether a local authority
has civil parking enforcement powers or not. This includes leaving a vehicle in a
position where it causes an unnecessary obstruction (the ‘unnecessary obstruction’
offence).</p><p> </p><p>The Department for Transport completed a review of pavement
parking in England looking at the extent of the problem, the effectiveness of the
current legislation and options for change. The Department for Transport is considering
the conclusions of the Transport Select Committee’s recent inquiry into pavement parking,
alongside the findings of its own evidence review, before deciding upon a course of
action to tackle the problem of pavement parking.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
