answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/10/2014 answer text <p>A survey conducted for the Department in 2010-11 found there were over 270 parking areas within five kilometres of the Strategic Route Network, including Motorway and Trunk Road Service Areas. Facilities varied but most offered toilets and food. The survey also found that parking areas were on average full to 61% of capacity, while 41% of heavy goods vehicles were parked elsewhere.</p><p> </p><p>It is Government policy that the provision of parking areas is a matter for local authorities and the private sector, who are best placed to judge local traffic conditions and needs. Parking charges are also a matter for the commercial judgement of parking operators but all Motorway Service Areas are required by the Department to offer two hours’ free parking to all vehicles.</p> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 14/10/2014 11:59:10 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry
