Larkshall Road car-park
Inaccurate press report
The report published in a recent Waltham Forest Guardian about the car-park off Larkshall Road, Highams Park, E4 was WRONG.There is no proposal to dispose of the whole car-park for housing and there has certainly been no decision.
What is being sought - in discussions with councillors and others, and the discussions go on - is a properly laid-out, marked out, surfaced, more secure car-park, preferably with some CCTV, and a more favourable pricing policy for Waltham Forest residents.There is a proposal to maximise the use of the land and bring in the areas of scrub which currently attract fly-tipping. The car-park would be smaller and on the Budgen's side [on the right as you go in] (and maybe even link up with Budgen's car-park). The northern side [on the left] would be possibly family homes - which are desperately needed in Highams Park - and the development used to finance the upgraded car-park. There are to be further discussions. Highams Park could benefit considerably if a satisfactory way forward can be agreed.
