Question:
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure, in light of views expressed as a result of consultation previously undertaken, what design elements of the proposed park and ride site at Tillysburn, Belfast, will be amended.

Answer:

In March 2018, a public consultation on this Park & Ride proposal was undertaken. The Planning Application, that was intended to follow the consultation, was delayed to allow for design changes identified from that process to be incorporated. The design has subsequently been amended to address the access and traffic concerns raised in the consultation, specifically in relation to inclusion of a second entrance from the Sydenham By-pass to supplement the main Holywood Road entrance. This will allow vehicles travelling on the A2 Belfast Road to directly access the Park & Ride facility.
