A Bristol car park has reopened today (Monday, April 11) after it closed in 2019 for major repairs and refurbishment work - which were designed to give it a new lease of life for another 10 years.
The long-stay West End Car Park in Jacob’s Wells Road was one-of-two car parks near the city centre that were closed for structural repairs originally expected to cost £2million. However, in January it was revealed that “unforeseen” problems encountered during repairs to West End had bumped up the cost to at least £3.2million.
The other car park that closed for repair in October 2019 was Temple Gate Car Park in Chatterton Square. It has since re-opened after the repairs were completed with no major issues at a cost of about £600,000, not far off the sum of £500,000 budgeted.
