I have therefore told the government that on the basis of this commitment I will withdraw my Bill."<br /> <a href="http://www.marklazarowicz.org.uk/uk_government_commitment_to_resolve_deadlock_on_obstructive_parking_after_mark_s_bill_forces_action" rel="nofollow">http://www.marklazarowicz.org.uk/uk_government_commitment_to_resolve_deadlock_on_obstructive_parking_after_mark_s_bill_forces_action</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13541#post-167503 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 11:34:44 +0000 SRD 167503@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I dislike and distrust eric pickles, but thought we had a policy of avoiding gratuitous 'fat' references? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13541#post-167502 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 11:28:47 +0000 crowriver 167502@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Dunno, but if it has I'm betting Eric Pickles has his porky wee fingers all over it. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13541#post-167497 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 10:42:48 +0000 I were right about that saddle 167497@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>My brother, who lives in England and has imperfect vision and mobility, is convinced that pavement parking was made legal in England recently, either <em>de jure</em> or <em>de facto</em>.</p> <p>I suspect he's a persistent correspondent on the subject, as a 4x4 in the middle of the pavement is a serious health hazard for him. Anybody know if anything did change recently in our southern neighbour? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13541#post-167477 Thu, 09 Oct 2014 08:54:06 +0000 SRD 167477@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"There are two bills seeking to address this issue in the 2014-15 Parliamentary session: one by Mark Lazarowicz MP to devolve powers to introduce a pavement parking ban to the<br /> Scottish Government and one by Martin Horwood MP to introduce a blanket pavement parking ban in England and Wales.9 Mr Lazarowicz’s bill was instigated by problems Scottish MSPs have had introducing their own legislation in this area (see, e.g. Sandra White MSP’s proposed Responsible Parking (Scotland) Bill). The Bill received Second Reading in the House of Commons in September 2014, but it may well be overtaken by further proposals for devolution to the Scottish Parliament. Mr Horwood’s Bill has yet to receive Second Reading, currently slated for January 2015. "</p> <p><a href="http://t.co/f1MHr5TTy9" rel="nofollow">http://t.co/f1MHr5TTy9</a> </p>
