When is this happening?
The latest programme shows completion of the car park expected for May 2024.
Where exactly is the new car park being built?

The area in Yellow shows the area of the overflow car park, not the portion which will be closed for the contractor’s compound. A portion of this car park will remain open for the duration of the works to allow public parking, with a new road access on Steeton Grove.
