I'm grateful this matter has been raised because there's another issue in Caerphilly that I'm sure that you'll be aware of, where local residents are unable to park and it's in Bryn Heol in Bedwas, where the residents have just been left exasperated by Caerphilly County Borough Council's indecision or the lack of any action to deal with the problem. They're told they can't park outside their houses on the street, but they also can't park on the pavement for obvious reasons. And the council had announced that they were going to be taking action to help them, but then they've withdrawn from doing that. So, obviously, whilst I completely support what the Government is doing in terms of its ambition to ban pavement parking, would the Deputy Minister agree with me that, in order for this to work, appropriate parking spaces have to be provided by local authorities so that residents can park safely outside their own homes?
