This car park is way too big and takes up too much room for this part of Birmingham. It is never full, and is the answer for a road system completely changing. The road that surrounds the car park has now been built through a no man's land park area. So the grassland has been downsized considerably. Okay I'll admit that previously, the grass was overgrown, but money could have been thrown into redeveloping and maintaining this piece of natural land, instead of removing a great piece of it for a car park and road.
Wherever you park, you'll end up having to walk quite a distance to actually get to the shopping centre (and the Tesco in particular). The car park isn't really suitable for elderly people either, and my Grandad struggled to get all the way to the entrance of Tesco's from our car. The car park has also resulted in a larger amount of traffic in the area, meaning that Yardley has become a busier and more frustrating place to drive through. However, I will say that the car park spaces provided are very roomy. read more
