Question:
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure whether consideration has been given to partnership arrangements to enable the utilisation of pre-existing car parks to enhance Park and Ride provision in the North Down area.

Answer:

Officials will continue to liaise with the Ards & North Down Borough Council regarding the council’s parking strategy and indeed wider parking provision and this will help identify any sharing opportunities that could enhance Park and Ride.

As previously advised and in support of my commitment to active travel and our Green Recovery, Translink is currently rolling out enhanced cycle storage facilities at stations and halts across the network, and it is intended to include Bangor in this programme.
