12-week demolition job on Grimsby's Abbey Walk car park due to start early in New Year

                                              

The doomed car park - although of historical interest, it is not a thing of beauty

IT will soon be farewell to Grimsby's  Abbey Walk car park.

The car park has been closed since May last year  following the discovery of  defects caused by water ingress into key structural supports.

In its place, there will be a ground-level car park, though further levels may be added in future years if there is demand.

Contractor GBM UK, has been appointed to undertake the demolition works which are expected to start on January 5 and last for 12 weeks.

The car park is believed to have been built in 1969.
