The pay and display car park on Tentercroft Street in Lincoln reopened this week after serving as a temporary bus station for more than a year and a half.
The site was resurfaced and converted back into a car park by the City of Lincoln Council after the £30 million Lincoln Transport Hub on St Mary’s Street was completed.
The car park has 311 spaces for shoppers and commuters, who can easily get onto the High Street or the train station (over the pedestrian bridge at the back).

Cafe owner Kerry Zablockyj, who has been in charge at The Eggstra Mile for four years, told The Lincolnite: “Business isn’t as good as what it used to be. The council have done a fairly good job of the car park, but some of the spaces are not all where they were originally and you can’t always get out of the car park very easily.”
Fox Walters, Owner of The Demon Barber, has been based at this site for three years and he told The Lincolnite: “It is nice to have the car park back. My clients use it and it’s nice it isn’t deadlined any more from the buses.The council resurfaced it quickly once the work started happening.”

Tenants living in a large block of council flats on Lincoln’s Ermine Estate have criticised the building’s “run down” condition, highlighting several issues.
Trent View residents, contending with problems such as excessive bird excrement and poor insulation, have also criticised City of Lincoln Council for its delayed handling of ongoing issues like leaks.
As people prepare to go out more in the run up to Christmas, a Lincoln woman who created the globally renowned Ask For Angela not-for-profit scheme is proud to have made the county, and the world, a safer place.
The scheme, launched by Hayley Crawford (pictured above) in 2016, aims to ensure that anyone who is feeling vulnerable or unsafe is able to get the support they need. This could be on a night out, a date, meeting friends and other situations, and it is available to everyone of all genders to help them feel safer.
