Final decision on £2m car park repairs delayed

A procurement process for the works is under way

A final decision on £2m repairs to a multi-storey car park in Mansfield has been delayed.

The Four Seasons Shopping Centre car park was found to need a series of works earlier this year, including deck waterproofing, drainage repairs and replacement, and resurfacing of the upper decks.

Owner Mansfield District Council originally said it hoped to have a contractor in place by the summer, the Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS) said.

The authority has now said that this is still several weeks away, with a procurement process under way.

Works are expected to take between nine and 12 months to complete once they start.

Parts of the 419-space car park will remain open throughout the work, and the council said it will aim to minimise any disruption.

The cost of the work has already been allocated from the council’s approved budget, the LDRS said.

Mansfield’s Walkden Street car park also closed in February for at least a year due to "structural maintenance issues".

The council said it will stay shut until the repairs are complete as a precautionary public safety measure.
