Westbury Station car park

20/03/19

AWP were very pleased to attend the formal opening of the Westbury Station car park extension on Friday 15th March along with representatives for Wiltshire Council;  the local Rail Partnership;  Friends of Westbury Station;  Great Western Railways;  Square Bay and the scheme contractors SIS Construction.

In formally opening the Car Park Cllr Horace Prickett said that the speed of delivery of the scheme was impressive and it was clearly much needed given the take up in occupancy.

Matthew Golton, GWR Commercial Development Director said that it was a testament to the innovative delivery arrangement through Square Bay and their team (including AWP) that the scheme was able to happen so swiftly and with minimal problems to GWR along the way.

AWP provided civil engineering design to Square Bay having supported them in gaining planning permission and the subsequent successful sale of most of the site to Linden Homes.

The car park was able to be provided by Square Bay on their land to GWR and Rail Industry guidelines and on a long lease to GWR, an arrangement believed to be a first for the rail industry and now of interest to DfT in providing additional capacity around the country.
