A Nottingham park-and-ride site closed for over a week after flooding and is still a long way off being reopened as major repairs may be needed. The Queen’s Drive Park and Ride, used by NCT bus passengers, closed on January 6 due to a risk of flooding.
Nottingham City Council confirmed late on Tuesday (January 14) that the site remains closed and that assessments will be carried out in the coming days on the damage done by the weather. The site, located off the banks of the River Trent, has regularly been forced to close due to flooding in recent years.
The facility also had to close after Travellers descended on the car park in late November 2024. In an update on the flooding situation on Tuesday, the city council said: “Conditions have improved considerably over the past few days, ice has melted and we’re hoping to get a sweeper on site tomorrow to clear up floodwater debris. Then we’ll look to start site infrastructure testing and carry out repairs if needed.”
