A multi-storey car park has reopened in Mansfield, creating more than 350 parking spaces. But, according to local residents, as the car park had not been in use for so long, it's reopening has been unexpected, with one saying they thought it would be knocked down and its use being questioned.
Walkeden Street car park fully reopened on Good Friday (April 15) following an extensive refurbishment, and now has 352 spaces. All of these are extra wide, the same size as they would be for parent / toddler bays or blue badge holders.
The refurbishment included replacing old concrete panels which had reached the end of their life with new geometric cladding. But some local residents have expressed surprise at it reopening, and question if it will be used.
