Pavement Parking
Enforcement of the national Pavement Parking legislation began in East Dunbartonshire on Monday 1 September 2025.
The legislation prohibits pavement parking, double parking and parking across dropped kerbs, and powers have been granted to councils to enforce the legislation.
Only 13 locations in East Dunbartonshire met the strict criteria for exemptions following a stringent assessment process. Pavement parking is allowed in these exempt locations, which are clearly signed, to allow the safe passage of emergency vehicles.
It is imperative that all employees who drive Council vehicles are aware of this legislation and ensure that no Council vehicle parks on the pavements at any time.
This includes all fleet vehicles and pool cars.
The Pavement Parking Ban webpage established on the Council website provides further information of the approach taken in East Dunbartonshire.
Thank you for your co-operation on this matter.
Ann Davie
Chief Executive
