A consultation on fining motorists £70 for parking on pavements in Wales has been postponed. Plans from the Welsh Government would 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 would have given councils in Wales the power to deal with the issue directly.
But on Monday (April 3), Climate Change minister Lee Waters MS that the consultation would be delayed until 2024 because he recognised they were "asking a lot of hard-pressed local authorities at what continues to be a difficult time".
