Question:
To ask the Minister for Regional Development who funded the building and installation of the private hire taxi-rank at Central Station, Belfast; and who approved the funding.

Answer:

The Economic Appraisal, which was submitted in 2002/03, catered for a wider traffic management system at Central Station which included the car park, the bus-way and a taxi rank.

The project was submitted to Translink’s Executive Committee for approval, then to the NITHC Board. Once approved at both forums, the project was submitted to and subsequently approved by my Department, who provided approval for capital funding in September 2003.
