PLANS to extend car parking at Steeton and Silsden railway station could be scuppered by lack of available land, warns a local councillor.

Steeton Parish Council chairman David Mullen (pictured) said earlier attempts to provide much-needed spaces faltered due to the shortage of suitable land nearby.

He feared that expensive work may be needed to provide extra spaces on the existing three car parks, such as building an extra level with a ramp. Plans must be “deliverable and affordable”.
