MOST of the motorists who drive• into London every day and park their cars on the streets in the West End and the City come from places within 10 miles of the centre. There is.also evidence that the majority' of parkers, originates in the north-west of London and within 74 miles of the centre.
This information is given in the final report of the special committee under the chairmanship of Mr. Alex Samuels which was set up by the Minister of Transport in 1956 to survey .parking in the inner area of London.
The committee publish a list of suitable' streets to serve the north-west quadrant, where, if necessary, long-term parking might be permitted free of charge, and a shorter list of streets on the south of the river.
They reiterate their views that the use of the highway for long-term parking should be only a temporary measure until suitable facilities can be provided off the
streets. The report was published on Wednesday by the Stationery Office at 3s. 6d.
