Parking problem
Posted: Tue Mar 08, 2016 2:02 am
A roof-top car park has lain unused for five years because it can only be accessed on foot, it has been revealed.
The 80 spaces, on top of a gym in Farnborough, Hampshire, were intended to relieve parking pressure in the town centre.
But a planned bridge, which would have provided vehicle access, was never built after construction of a second building with a vehicle ramp stalled.
The council's chief executive blamed the economic downturn for the delay.
Developer, St Modwen admitted there is no timescale for the bridge's completion.
Gareth Lyon, Conservative councillor for the town centre area on Rushmoor Borough Council and member of its development management committee, said: "We have a massive problem with car parking in Farnborough.
"To have had this huge car park lying empty defies belief. It is ridiculous."
