East Dunbartonshire Council has revealed its pavement parking law plans.
Legislation to address pavement parking came into force earlier this week.
The new regulations constitute a national ban on pavement parking, double parking and parking at dropped kerbs, and powers are being granted to councils to enforce the legislation.
East Dunbartonshire Council has now agreed its approach of enforcement in the local area.

Councillor Gordon Low explained: "A national campaign has been launched to raise awareness of this legislation and we will follow this in the new year with a more focused local campaign across the area.
"We will be adopting a light-touch approach in the first few months to ensure that the legislation is not a surprise to those who live, work, and importantly park in this area. We will then begin enforcement later in 2024."
Further work will now take place across several service areas to ensure that both technical and physical preparations are made in advance of an agreed hard launch in summer of next year.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
