Book closes on Luton library car park…

Time called on one of Luton’s largest multi-storey car parks.

After standing empty for two years, one of Luton’s biggest multi-storey car parks is to be demolished. The Library car park closed in December 2008 after concerns were raised about it’s safety during a routine inspection by structural engineers.

The closure of the car park and it’s 700 spaces, has had a significant impact on parking in Luton. Initially, an extra 180 spaces were made available at the Bute Street Bus Station car park. However this has now been pulled down as part of the Luton Gateway regeneration project.

The car park owners, who also own The Mall shopping centre in Luton, say that after the multi-storey building has been demolished, a temporary car park will be made available on the site.
