Current plans involves using 22 acres for parking space – but council says this should now be used for homes
Solihull council and local businesses have been told to fork out £100m if they want HS2 to build multi-storey car parks around their new station, instead of occupying 22 surrounding acres for surface parking.
Interchange Station in Solihull, outer Birmingham, has been designed to give HS2 passengers access to nearby Birmingham Airport, Birmingham Business Park and the National Exhibition Centre.
Plans to build 7,400 parking spaces all around the new station were included in the High Speed Rail (London – West Midlands) Act which received royal assent in 2017 and gave HS2 Ltd the powers to build the scheme.
