The City Mayor at Abbey Street car park, now operated by Euro Car Parks

EURO Car Parks has taken over the operation of a third, former NCP car park in Leicester.

Leicester's City Mayor Sir Peter Soulsby says the company has reopened the car park at Abbey Street - one of five that closed after NCP went into administration in March.

Sir Peter said: "Although Leicester benefits from a good range of parking spaces, the re-opening of these car parks gives people more choice, and reassurance when visiting the city centre, so this news is very welcome."

Euro Car Parks now operates three of the five former NCP car parks that had closed, including St Nicholas Circle and East Street. The Rutland Centre and Lee Circle car parks remain closed, although Sir Peter added that council officers are having ongoing discussions with the owners of the buildings and interested parties about these sites.

Parking is free for Blue Badge holders in all of Leicester City Council’s award-winning car parks.
