Bedford Borough Council has confirmed that Lurke Street multi-storey car park will remain closed until further notice after a vehicle collided with the entry support post on Monday (21 April) during the bank holiday weekend.
Following an inspection today (Tuesday), the Council said repairs will be required before the car park can reopen. As a result, all access is currently restricted to ensure public safety.
Season ticket holders for Lurke Street have been advised that they can now park in any on-street pay-and-display bays at no charge until the facility reopens.
In a statement on their social media channels, a Council spokesperson said: ‘We apologise for any inconvenience caused. Our other car parks continue to operate as usual and are a short walk away at Queen Street, Allhallows and River Street.
‘Allhallows offers free parking for up to four hours in the same way as Lurke Street.’
The Council has not yet provided a timescale for the repairs, but said that it is working to arrange the necessary work as quickly as possible.
