The LSE report makes this very pertinent point, which makes provision of car parking a marginal effect at best: Our research shows over 90 per cent of high street visitors use sustainable methods of transport to visit their high street(s), the majority of which are walked trips. London’s network of high streets must also be supported to ensure it continues to provide for the needs of businesses and visitors, and to reduce the need for car journeys to destinations further away. High streets often facilitate access to the wider transport system, as they provide convenient access points into London’s cycle routes, bus and overground system. Investment in high streets can therefore help support and improve healthy, travel by making cycling and public transport more appealing. |
