People who park on pavements in Wales could face £70 fines in Wales. New plans from the Welsh Government will give local councils the power to fine people for obstructing pavements with their cars.
There is no specific law against pavement parking and across the UK it is only illegal in London. However the new plans will give councils in Wales the power to deal with the issue directly.
Police can enforce the existing criminal offence of causing 'unnecessary obstruction of any part of the highway’ but this is rarely enforced.
