Written question asked by Edward Morello (Liberal Democrat) on Tuesday, 8 April 2025, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Tuesday, 22 April 2025. It was answered by Simon Lightwood (Labour) on Monday, 28 April 2025 on behalf of the Department for Transport.
Railway Stations: Dorchester
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether her Department will provide funding to Dorset Council to improve parking facilities at Dorchester South station.
- Answer
-
This Government recognises the importance of sufficient parking provision at railway stations. Decisions on specific projects are a matter for the relevant local authority. However, we have recently announced that Dorset Council will receive nearly £2 million as part of the Integrated Transport Block which can be used to support a wide variety of schemes and make transport more accessible. In addition, the Council has been allocated over £3.8 million to make improvements to their local bus services. This funding gives Local Authorities an opportunity to consider whether it would be viable to integrate public transport provision with local railway stations, offering an alternative mode of transport for people to travel to those locations.
