Call For Residents To Decide On The Future Of Car And Cycle Park

Cambridge Council is urging local residents to have their say on the future of Park Street multi-storey car and cycle park.

The first option is to repair the existing car park; the second is to build a brand new above-ground multi-storey car park; the third is to build a new underground car park with residential and/or commercial space above it.

Park Street car park is over 50 years old and the Council is considering options because of concerns about its deteriorating structural condition, which would require ongoing and extensive repairs in the future.

The consultation period closes on Friday 19 September. The results will be reported to the Council's Environment Scrutiny Committee on 14 October.
