Aerial parking

A car park in the UK town of Farnborough should be helping with the chronic shortage of parking spaces in the locality. However despite having 70 car parking spaces, the facility has been unused for five years.

The reason for this is that it has been constructed on top of a building and can only be accessed by pedestrians using a lift. Developers had originally planned to link it by bridge to another rooftop parking area on an adjacent building. However the other building was never constructed and the parking area has lain unused ever since, much to the embarrassment of the local authority that is attempting to improve the town’s parking shortage. Plans are in hand for another building alongside that would provide access but a time frame for its completion has not been given, so for the short term the parking area will remain unused.
