The West Midlands Combined Authority has revealed it is looking at building multi-storey car parking at future park and ride sites because of a scarcity of land.

Now it has picked three specialists firms – Bourne Parking, C A Blackwells and Dawnus – to deliver a five-year programme which could involve an investment of up to £250m.

The authority said as new land for the expansion of park and ride facilities is in short supply, decked parking may become the preferred solution for additional parking provision at existing rail, bus and metro facilities and also for new locations.

Various decked options may be required dependent on the location, demand and design with the majority likely to be future-proofed to add additional decks if required later.
