Mr. Kenny Jacobs:

The CCPC determined that we were not able to buy the QuickPark site. To remind everybody, the QuickPark site would have given us an additional 6,000 spaces. They are also the best 6,000 spaces that exist. It was a great shame that we had issues with car parking last summer - people were anxious more than we had issues – and we were not able to operate those spaces. Since the CCPC decision, we have engaged with the owner of the QuickPark site. I have met with the owner to ask whether we could do a deal to operate for two months. We were close to getting a deal done but QuickPark has withdrawn from that process. I cannot say more than that. The Deputy could ask it why that was. We wanted to be able to operate the carpark. Our understanding was that legally we could do so on a short-term basis – just for July and August – and then we would be gone in September. This was not to make money but to tell passengers that they could worry less because we got 6,000 additional spaces. I do not think that process will go forward now. I understand the vendor withdrew because it may not be able to let us do it.
