‘Manchester's pavements are for people, not for vehicles’

'If it’s good enough for London, it’s good enough for Manchester'

Mr Khan, MP for Gorton and Shadow Justice Minister, called on the Government to outlaw pavement parking that ‘prevents others from living their daily lives’ across Manchester.

The MP described just some of the many stories shared where people have been affected by pavement parking, including constituent Barbara, who struggled to get to her supermarket because ‘her wheelchair could not fit between cars on the pavement’. The MP received an ‘overwhelming response’ from his constituents, and says he has ‘never had the sheer volume of upset about a local issue’.

"We need to start from a simple, clear message: our pavements are for people walking or wheeling, not for vehicles," the Manchester MP said. Afzal Khan said: "The Government knows something needs to change. They promised to do something about pavement parking back in 2020. They even consulted on it. Three years later, they haven’t responded to their own consultation. We need to see results.
