§ Sir R. Russellasked the Minister of Transport what further progress has been made in providing off-street parking in Greater London since 28th July, 1964; and what plans are in hand for the future.
§ Mr. Tom FraserIn the last five months loan sanctions totalling £1,432,000 have been issued in connection with local authorities' plans to provide 43 car parks in Greater London. Progress continues to be made on the plans for many more.
Local authorities' more recent plans include local permanent car parks in Bell Street and Montague House in St. Marylebone; the Minories and Tower Hill in the City; Relton Mews in Westminster; and in Bexley, Epsom, Feltham, Gravesend, Harrow, Kingston, Lewisham, St. Albans and Watford.
Moreover the London County Council has recently given planning permission for the proposed underground car park beneath Bloomsbury Square and a planning inquiry has been held on a similar project for Cadogan Place Gardens. Others, including the Railway Boards and car park firms, have plans in various stages for a number of both permanent and temporary car parks.
