Question:
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure for an update on the plans for Tillysburn Park and Ride.

Answer:

Following a consultation on the proposed Tillysburn Park & Ride scheme in 2018, a number of issues were raised in relation to the access, traffic concerns and cycling provision. A revised layout is being prepared to address these concerns so the project could be progressed through the planning process. The proposal is part of the overall traffic management strategy for the York Street interchange project and aims to remove some of the private car trips from the road network and transfer these to public transport.

I have inherited severe and challenging budget constraints, but I am committed to working to find solutions that deliver better for our communities and improve lives across Northern Ireland. I am currently assessing the pressures across my department reflecting on my priorities and the commitments in "New Decade: New Approach”.
