To:  Infrastructure, Land and Environment Policy Board 
On:  22 January 2025

Report by: Director of Environment, Housing & Infrastructure
___________________________________________________________________ 
Heading: Renfrewshire Council (Pavement Parking Exemption) Order 2025
___________________________________________________________________ 
1. Summary 
1.1 In terms of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 and the Council’s Scheme of
Delegation, the making of a Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) is delegated to
the Director of Environment, Housing & Infrastructure after consultation with
the Convener of the Infrastructure, Land and Environment Policy Board and
the local ward Members. 
1.2 The proposed Exemption Order allows Renfrewshire Council to grant
exemptions at specific roads from the nationwide pavement parking ban as
per The Transport (Scotland) Act 2019. This will maintain emergency and
refuse vehicle access while maintaining an appropriate footway width for
pedestrians and wheelers. 
1.3 On the 14th August 2024 the above Exemption Order, was advertised for
public consultation which proposed to exempt the roads listed at Appendix 1
from the provisions of the pavement parking ban. 
1.4 There were 85 responses in relation to the proposed areas for exemption from
the Pavement Parking Ban and a further 71 responses in relation to requests
for extra sites that were not included as part of the proposed Exemption
Order.

Page 2

1.5 From the 85 responses, 82 of these were in relation to locations where
responses included requests that the extent of the exemptions be increased in
the Craighead Estate, Bishopton (Yarrow, Morar, Cawdor, Ettrick and Teviot),
Low Barholm Kilbarchan, Burns Drive Johnstone and Kintyre Avenue
Linwood. For ease of administration and future enforcement, the proposed
Order removes the relevant sections from this Exemption Order with a view
that (elements of) the requested extensions will be included in a subsequent
Exemption Order. These locations will not be considered for enforcement
whilst the subsequent order is being developed. 
1.6 The remaining three objections to the Exemption Order at Glenpatrick Road,
East Avenue and Greenock Road have been considered and not upheld.
Objections to the proposals at Low Barholm and Kintyre Avenue have been
considered, with some elements not upheld. Details are outlined at section 4.8
of this report. 
1.7 In accordance with the ‘Local Authorities’ Traffic Orders (Procedures)
(Scotland) Regulations 1999’ and the Council’s procedures, the Board may
now decide how to proceed; to either make the order in full, make the order in
part, or not make the order. The type of proposed exemption does not
automatically require the appointment of an independent Reporter to decide
on the objections. The Board is therefore free to choose to decide on the
objections itself, or, to appoint a Reporter to do so. 
1.8 A plan of the proposed exemption areas can be found at this link.

1.9 The enforcement of the Pavement Parking Ban requires the ILE Board to
approve an amendment to the Council’s scheme of delegation to enable the
Council’s Senior Community Support Officers, Community Support Officers
and Community Support Assistants to issue PCNs, which is outlined at
section 7.2 of this report.
___________________________________________________________________ 
2. Recommendations
It is recommended that the Infrastructure, Land and Environment Policy Board:
2.1 Considers and decides on the objections made and not upheld in relation to
The Renfrewshire Council (Pavement Parking Exemption) Order 2025 at the
meeting of this Policy Board rather than appointing an independent reporter.

Page 3

2.2 Subject to recommendation 2.1 and the objections not being upheld, approves
the implementation of an amended Exemption Order, which includes the
roads as listed at Appendix 1, and authorises the Director of Environment,
Housing & Infrastructure in conjunction with the Convener of Infrastructure,
Land & Environment Policy Board to make the Traffic Regulation Order. 
2.3 Approves the commencement of enforcement activity associated with the
national pavement parking ban as per The Transport (Scotland) Act 2019 by
Renfrewshire Council’s Parking Attendants. As a result it approves the
amendment to para 20 on page 92 of the scheme of delegation shown in para
7.2 of this report and that the amendment be implemented with immediate
effect, and 
2.4 Notes that this is the first in a series of exemption reports that are likely to be
considered by the Board as additional areas for exemption are to be
considered. 
_________________________________________________________
3. Background 
3.1 Transport (Scotland) Act 2019 prohibits pavement parking, double parking
(defined as parking more than 50 cm from the edge of the carriageway) and
parking at dropped kerbs at known crossing points. For the purposes of the
pavement parking legislation, a motor vehicle is defined as parked on a
pavement if it is stationary and one or more of its wheels (or any part of them)
is on any part of the pavement. From 11 December 2023, local authorities
have had the tools they require to enforce the parking prohibitions by issuing a
Penalty Charge Notice of £100 (reduced to £50 if paid within 14 days)
(Transport Scotland, 2023). 
3.2 There are exceptions for certain vehicles, including those that have been
parked to save a life or respond to a similar emergency, as well as parking for
up to 20 minutes if vehicles are delivering, loading or unloading goods; as
long as the 1.5m minimum footway width is maintained. 
3.3 This proposed order is for exemptions to the Transport (Scotland) Act 2019
pavement parking ban. It has been agreed that a one size fits all approach will
not work everywhere and that is why the Act provides local authorities with the
opportunity to grant exemptions from the national ban on individual roads in
line with the criteria outlined in the Pavement, Double & Dropped Kerb
Parking Standards Guidance, (Transport Scotland, 2021) as outlined at 3.4
and 3.5 below.

Page 4

3.4 Point 1(a) allows a local authority to consider an Exemption Order for an area
of footway where there is deemed to be sufficient space to maintain non-
vehicular traffic flow whilst still allowing space for vehicles to park safely on
the footway. The above directions state that a minimum of 1.5 metres of
footway must be left unobstructed. 
3.5 Point 1(b) would allow a local authority to exempt an area of footway from the
prohibition to allow the safe passage of emergency vehicles on a carriageway.
For example, this could be in relation to historic/narrow streets where there
are existing footways of insufficient width and access for emergency services
needs to be considered. 
3.6 Within the Renfrewshire Council area there were 22 locations which were
proposed for exemption following a study comprising of desktop analysis and
on-site surveys. Each location was supported by an Equality Impact
Assessment (EqIA) which considered specific safety and accessibility issues.
_________________________________________________________ 
4. Traffic Regulation Order Process 
4.1 The proposal went through a single stage consultation process for a 28 day
period 14th August to 11th September 2024. 
4.2 The purpose of the consultation was to satisfy the statutory consultation
process which would allow residents of Renfrewshire to provide comment on
the proposed exemptions from the nationwide pavement parking legislation,
permitting pavement parking in isolated locations. 
4.3 The consultation details were published in the local press, on
Renfrewshire.gov.uk and via the TellmeScotland website, where information
on the exemption orders was provided in text format and in map form via
Renfrewshire Council’s Geographic Information System (GIS) portal. Further
to this, notices were placed on lampposts at each of the specific locations
where the exemption orders were proposed.

Page 5

4.4 The online survey received 156 responses, with 85 of them being in relation to
the proposed exemptions as outlined in the table below.

4.5 As a result of the consultation process, officers are recommending proceeding
with the approval of the roads subject to exemption as outlined in Appendix 1
to this report. 
4.6 Following consultation and discussions with the objectors on some of these
locations, the decision was made to amend the Exemption Order and remove
the proposed exemptions at the Craighead Estate area (includes Yarrow
Crescent, Morar Crescent, Cawdor Crescent, Ettrick Drive and Teviot Drive),
Low Barholm Kilbarchan, Burns Drive (from Nos 2 to 42) and Kintyre Avenue
Linwood. 
4.7 It is proposed to include these sections in a second Exemption Order which
will propose to exempt both sides of the above roads in the Craighead Estate,
extend the proposed exemption on Low Barholm up to the gable of No. 26,
extend the proposed exemption on Burns Drive to include outside No. 44 and
extend the proposed exemption on Kintyre Avenue to include the buildouts on
the north section of the road.

Page 6

4.8 This second Order will also include any additional roads required to be
exempt, following further surveys of roads that have been identified from the
consultation exercise, that did not form part of the proposed Exemption Order.
A subsequent 28-day consultation period on the second Exemption Order will
be required. This will again involve publication in the local press, street notices
and a web notice. 
4.9 The areas proposed at the Craighead Estate, Low Barholm, Burns Drive, and
Kintyre Avenue in the second Exemption Order will be lined at the same time
of the first Exemption Order implementation in order to permit residents to
park on the exempt sections of footway. Signs formalising the exempt
sections will only be installed once the second Exemption Order is made and
implemented. Like our disabled bay procedure, this allows residents to gain
the benefit of the exemption while awaiting the conclusion of the
administration of the second Order.

4.10 The objections in relation to the other locations are detailed below. Information which could personally identify the
objectors has been removed.
Road Settlement Objection Officers’ Review
Kintyre
Avenue
Linwood At 109 Kintyre Ave which is not exempt yet there is no space to park unless you go on
pavement. From 109, 113, 111 and Davaar Court there is not even 1 space per household.
Where can people with mobility issues park?  
Exemptions to be extended to include the buildouts
on the north section of the road.
All other sections of footway require to be kept clear
to maintain pedestrian access. 
Kintyre
Avenue
(Same
objection
received
from two
objectors)
Linwood I am writing to you regarding the proposed pavement parking exemption within Kintyre
Avenue (numbers 25 to 73.)
As a homeowner and a driver within the proposed area, I am aware of and acknowledge the
difficulties of parking within the street. Additionally, I also recognise the need for such
parking restrictions with regard to pedestrian safety and the reduction of accidents.
However, and whilst I do not entirely object to the proposal, I feel, it necessary as a
homeowner and owner of a vehicle to engage in this consultation/review period in order to
ensure all possible considerations have been evaluated prior to any final decision made.
As stated above, whilst I do acknowledge the problem of pavement parking within the
street; I believe that singularly reducing, restricting and financially penalising drivers within
the street, whilst failing to offer a suitable alternative is not a viable solution. In conjunction
with this, I do not feel that a thorough analysis of parking within Kintyre Avenue has been
completed as there are additional areas which arguably are significantly more unsafe and
require some reconsideration.
With the above in mind, I would like to draw your attention to areas which the council
ironically are not proposing to make exempt from parking (house numbers 1-7.) Cars and
bins obstruct a smaller pavement for pedestrians than the areas you have acknowledged-
which makes it almost impossible for prams, the disabled, or most adults to pass.
Additionally, these cars are parked very close to the turn into Kintyre Avenue and are often
quite obstructive and make turning into the street quite dangerous- especially considering
Exemptions to be extended to include the buildouts
on the north section of the road.
All other sections of footway require to be kept clear
to maintain pedestrian access.

Road Settlement Objection Officers’ Review
there is a child play park in proximity. I am unsure how this has not been acknowledged or
recognised, but should now however reinforce the necessity for further discussions and
alterations to the plans prior to any final decision.
I would also Like to propose that the council seek to reduce the size (depth) of the
pavement, in order to create additional space for parking. This space is a large additional
pavement superfluous to requirements, which should they be removed (and which does not
reduce the size of the actual pavement) would make space for 2 cars to park legally at each
point. These "additional pavements" are spaced throughout the proposed area and by being
removed would provide additional parking for potentially 8-10 cars.
I am concerned that the lack of alternative solutions and compromise, paired with a sheer
punitive approach is demonstrative of a "money-making exercise” for the Council; and whilst
I am not disputing there is an issue which requires management within Kintyre Avenue, nor
objecting to the need for parking exemptions, I believe it essential that the right solution be
found; and the rights, lives and circumstances of residents within the street be respected
and considered in order to reach equilibrium and ultimately the success and aims of the
exemptions.
East
Avenue
Renfrew I have a drive, but several times, I've not been able to gain access to the road, due to
vehicles parking across my drive or parking directly opposite on the pathway and when my
neighbour has two cars on the drive, it means I'm blocked in.
I have seen disabled visitors in wheelchairs have to use the road, due to the parking.
I have seen families with young children, have to use the road because of the parking.
I have spoken to many neighbours and there's a general concern that if there was a fire in a
house, the fire brigade could not at times (particularly at night) gain access. Even
ambulances, have been known to have trouble gaining access.
We also have parking on the corners of exit to the street, which means that when you are
leaving the street, you have a restricted view. A couple of times I've witnessed (Almost
accidents because of this).
Considered appropriate to provide one clear
footway and some opportunity to park close to
residences yet still allow emergency vehicle access
to the short cul-de-sac.
Retain proposed exemption.

Road Settlement Objection Officers’ Review
Glenpatrick
Road
Elderslie With regard to the proposed pavement parking exemption on Glenpatrick Road.
I would urge you to reconsider the section that extends south of 69 Glenpatrick Road,
adjoining the Golf Course boundary.
Because of vegetation being allowed to overgrow the boundary of the golf course here, the
pavement is reduced to almost half its original width at points. 
Combine that with inconsiderate parking from those dropping children at Wallace Primary,
and parking of large work vehicles belonging to residents.
I don’t believe there is justification for pavement parking to exist here, for the following
reasons:
-There are no residential properties on the eastern side of the road 
-The properties on the western side all have driveways.
-The road is wide and unobstructed at this point 
Adding pavement parking at this point also increases the danger associated with the
signposted blind summit at the crest of the hill.
Regardless of whether the pavement parking at this section does go ahead, the council
should work with the golf course to ensure the removal of the excess vegetation.
The vegetation has been cut back to maximise the
footway width. The marking of the parking spaces
will control the positioning and size of vehicles able
to use the spaces. It is considered important to
maintain the existing facility.
Retain proposed exemption
Greenock
Road
Bishopton I have been directed to yourselves via the email below. I am looking for information on what
the council are planning to do in light of the upcoming "kerb parking" regulations that are
due to be enforced from November time. In particular, the A8 (Greenock Road) in Bishopton
between Lorimers and Angie Campbell Hair Salon (cross roads). This has been an area that
has always had cars parked on the pavement, but the traffic on the road has still, on the
whole, been able to flow. With the new regulations coming through, my concern is that a
number of vehicles will be parked on the road, causing utter chaos to traffic flow on this very
busy part of Bishopton. 
The controls provided by marking out the parking
spaces to limit the areas available and to leave
sufficient space for pedestrians are sufficient to
meet the objector's requirements.
Retain proposed exemption.

Road Settlement Objection Officers’ Review
Are the council looking at proactive measures to stop this from happening?  Eg. traffic safety
measures, double yellow lines, no parking measures, keep clear road markings etc??
Low
Barholm
Kilbarchan The information that I have read suggests that this will not directly affect No20, but in reality
others that are affected on the southern side of Low Barholm (and visitors and those on the
other side of the road) would then impact on the ability to park outside No20. There is no
access to parking behind these properties and if I am reading this correctly parking will not
be allowed on the stretch between No20 and the railway bridge where on the whole there is
ample wide pavement parking available. 
While as neighbours as a general rule we get on well with each other and have no
“designated” parking slots, this doesn’t sound like a very well thought out proposal – and
where would your suggestion be to park when the pavements are taken up between the
Trust Inn and the property at No20
Exemptions to be extended to the gable end of no.
26 Low Barholm.
There are no properties fronting the south side of
the road beyond no. 26 where the carriageway
reduces in width towards the rail bridge. There are
also vehicle accesses and a bus stop situated
between the gable of no. 26 and the rail bridge.
Low
Barholm
Kilbarchan I am sending this email in relation to the Renfrewshire Council (Pavement Parking
Exemption) Order 202, in relation to the publication with reference TRO1003, to show my
support and appreciation for the application of the exemption to the new law on pavement
parking to Low Barholm, Kilbarchan. 
At the same time I would like to ask you to consider the extension of this exemption to the
pavement area from no.22 to no. 26 and, more in general, to the old gas works wall as, I
believe, it is wide enough to allow both parking and a comfortable passage for pedestrians,
prams or wheel chair.
For that part of the pavement, even a soft pavement marking (e.g. paint) to show the area
where parking would be allowed, in a sort of split between car parking and pedestrian
passage, could help guarantee a sensible solution for residents.
Finally, even if unsure about the relevance of this observation to this matter or to you in
your current role, I would like to suggest the consideration of speed cameras or any other
solution which would help in reducing car speed in Low Barholm. At the moment there is
only one panel which used to show a "Slow down" message if 30mph were passed, but it has
never been visible due to the vegetation and it's been at least a year where the message, for
some reason, doesn't even come up.

There are no properties fronting the south side of
the road beyond no. 26 where the carriageway

also vehicle accesses and a bus stop situated

Traffic calming / road safety requests outwith the
scope of the Pavement Parking Exemption Order
process. This will be considered in line with the
Council’s adopted Road Safety Policy.

Page 11

Road Settlement Objection Officers’ Review
Even adding a signal with the 30mph limit might be something, though not sufficient, to help
reduce speeding, which is a very serious and dangerous matter for us, also considered the
absence of any zebra crossing on our street.
Low
Barholm
Kilbarchan I am contacting you re: the pavement parking exemption at Low Barholm. I support this and
ask that the exemption apply past number 20 to include the pavement to the fence for the
burn. This pavement is also wide and is required by residents and their visitors for parking. It
is wide enough for safe pedestrian access and also a parked vehicle. Indeed this afternoon I
saw a lady on a mobility scooter travelling safely between the houses at Low Barholm and
parked cars so obviously room for both. One neighbour who is within the exemption area
has mooted the idea of a residents only parking at this area as they park a van and a private
car outside their property. However I do not support making the pavement area for
residents only as these spaces are required by all residents along Low Barholm and also their
visitors.

26 Low Barholm.
There are no properties fronting the south side of

reduces in width towards the rail bridge. There are
also vehicle accesses and a bus stop situated

Low
Barholm
Kilbarchan I am emailing to comment on the proposed pavement parking exemption, in particular at
Low Barholm, Kilbarchan. Currently the proposal is suggesting that the exemption will apply
from the Trust Inn up to number 20. 
I am asking for the exemption to be applied all the way up to the old gasworks wall. The
reasoning for this is that the pavement is wide enough for cars to park all the way to that
point whilst still allowing space for the general public to walk through. Additionally, even
with cars parked fully on the pavement, there is still plenty of space to get a pram or a
wheelchair through. It is on these grounds that I object to the proposed exception stopping
at number 20 - it should be applied to the whole row.

5. Traffic Order Approval Procedure 
5.1 The Local Authorities' Traffic Orders (Procedure) (Scotland) Regulations 1999
state that before making the order, the Council (in the form of its
Infrastructure, Land and Environment Policy Board) must consider all
objections made and not withdrawn. In this respect, the terms of the
Regulations state that the Board may consider the objections itself in
fulfilment of its statutory obligation. Alternatively, the Board may choose to
appoint an independent Reporter to hold a hearing to consider the objections. 
5.2 If the Board decides to exercise its discretion and not appoint an independent
Reporter, then it must consider the objections and either uphold them, in
which case the proposal shall be dropped, or consider the objections and then
approve the implementation of the restrictions as advertised, as a whole or in
part, and authorise the Director of Environment, Housing & Infrastructure to
make the Order. 
5.3 If the Board decides to choose the public hearing, it should be recognised that
the Reporter’s deliberations could take approximately 15 weeks. Thereafter,
the Board has an obligation to consider the report and recommendation made
by the Reporter and to decide on whether to proceed with the order. 
5.4 The cost of arranging an independent Reporter to hold a public hearing is
estimated at £5000. Therefore, it is recommended that the Board considers
the objections itself.
_________________________________________________________
6. Implementation 
6.1 Should the Infrastructure, Land and Environment Policy Board approve the
implementation of the exemptions as advertised, excluding the noted
amendments, officers will arrange for the required lining and signing works to
make the Order enforceable. 
6.2 As explained above, in addition to these requirements, there will be a
requirement for a further Exemption Order to satisfy the outcome of the
statutory consultation process.
___________________________________________________________________

7. Enforcement Provisions 
7.1 The ILE Board is delegated to exercise the functions of the Council in relation
to road traffic regulation. Part 6 of the Transport (Scotland) 2019 Act, which
allows for PCNs to be issued in respect of contraventions of the pavement
parking prohibition, the double parking prohibition or the dropped footway
parking prohibition, falls within that definition. 
7.2 This report seeks to have specific powers relating to road traffic regulation
delegated to specified officers by virtue of an amendment to para 20 on page
92 of the scheme of delegation (shown in bold below): 
“Senior Community Support Officers, Community Support Officers and
Community Support Assistants are authorised in terms of the Road Traffic
Regulation Act 1984 and the Road Traffic Act 1991 both as modified by the
Road Traffic (Permitted Parking Area and Special Parking Area)
(Renfrewshire Council) Designation Order 2010 to issue Penalty Charge
Notices and in terms of Part 6 of the Transport (Scotland) Act 2019 and
the Parking Prohibitions (Enforcement and Accounts) (Scotland)
Regulations 2023 to issue Penalty Charge Notices”.
