Leytonstone Station (Car Park Facilities)

HC Deb 03 April 1957 vol 568 c392

41. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what extra parking space is to be made available at railway stations or otherwise in the borough of Leyton.

Mr. Nugent

I understand the British Transport Commission is planning to increase the capacity of the car park at Leytonstone Station by twenty-seven car spaces. We are, of course, willing to consider any proposals by the local authority to provide additional parking facilities on or off the highway.

Mr. Sorensen

Does that reply mean that British Railways will be entirely responsible for the new parking space at Leytonstone, or will the Ministry of Transport or the local authority have some share in the responsibility, and, indeed, the fixing of fees?

Mr. Nugent

The British Transport Commission alone will be responsible for this car park.
