Midlothian Council have followed in the footsteps of other local authorities to enforce the new pavement parking ban.
A pavement parking ban will be enforced across Midlothian from this week that the authorities have said will heed to 'no excuses' from motorists.
Midlothian councillor Dianne Alexander said: "Every motorist needs to take heed and park considerately so as not to obstruct roads and pavements. Our pavements are for pedestrians, not cars. If you cannot find a parking space other than by parking on a pavement, dropped kerb or double parking, the message is clear – park elsewhere or face a fine of £100."
According to the Midlothian Council's report, these powers became available to introduce when the "he Parking Prohibitions Regulations 2023 came into force on 11 December 2023. Pavement parking A car is considered to be parked if it is stationary so you are parked on a pavement if one or more of your wheels is on any part of the pavement.
