A car park built for £51 million in Oxfordshire is lying empty because a council cannot connect it to the main road.
Planning problems are preventing motorists from using the 19-acre park and ride scheme in Eynsham until funding is secured to link it to the A40.
Aerial photographs show the 850-space site devoid of vehicles, despite its finished glossy tarmac, bus stops and green spaces. All major construction work was finished in January, followed by landscaping last month.
Although the car park could be cut off from the main road until 2027, local authorities have contracts to maintain it every week, cutting the grass and topsoiling and seeding when necessary.
Besides the obvious fuck up, just judging from the picture in the article I also see a complete lack of solar panels or charging stations.
Feels like when you are already spending such a huge sum just for a fancy place to store some cars, then you could at least add that functionality.
