Although the car park could be cut off from the main road until 2027, local authorities have contracts to maintain it every week, cutting the grass and topsoiling and seeding when necessary.

I imagine the guy whose job it is to maintain the lawn on an inaccessible parking lot as a character in a satirical book or movie a la Catch 22.

Wow, why does something like that cost £51 million? I thought, it would be massive, but it just isn't...

Sounds farcical but I'd like to know who is benefitting from those contracts. 🤔

It must be connected to a road somewhere, or else how did they build it in the first place?

It's connected to a smaller local road, but not the main motorway. I guess they don't want too much traffic on the local road?

Would it have hurt them to plant some trees here and there? That photo is depressing.

Spooky, I drove past this the other day and mentioned it to my wife after watching this video a while back.

No! I was born here! Made my own car thanks!

What a collosal bureaucratic fuck-up.

Looooooooooooooool
