Currently, there is a general prohibition on parking vehicles on the pavements of the public highway in the London area (I assume that is those boroughs in the GLA). Unfortunately, there is no similar constraint in the rest of England, with the consequence that there is extensive abuse of pedestrians' right of way. This affects everybodys ability to use the public highway and in many case severely impairs acces to residences etc.. The effect on those with wheelchairs and other mobility devices can be devastating.
There is a growing head of steam to introduce legislation extending the right of local authorities to prohibit such behaviour in the rest of England. Assuming that LAs take up a new power, what impact do you think it will have on a) residential car use and b) delivery van driving?
