§ Sir Raymond Gowerasked the Secretary of State for Wales what progress has been made in providing parking areas and facilities along the M4 in Wales; and what plans he has for the next five years.
§ Mr. Mark RobinsonParking areas and other facilities are provided at the motorway service areas at Sarn Park and Pont Abraham. It is our policy to encourage the provision of such areas at 25 to 30-mile intervals on the M4 in Wales. Where any proposed service area requires direct access to or from the motorway it is for intending developers to put forward proposals for consideration. There are no plans to provide parking and other facilities outside motorway service areas.
