Demolition work to begin on "underused" multi-storey car park
A replacement car park will be created next to the new Fareham Live venue
Bulldozers are moving in to knock down a multi-storey car park in Fareham.
Demolition work on the site in Osborn Road begins on Monday.
A surface car park will be created for the new Fareham Live arts and entertainment venue which is due to open in the spring.
Fareham Borough Council leader Seán Woodward, said: "I am delighted that the work is about to begin to replace the underused and outdated Osborn Road multi storey car park with the new Fareham Live surface car park.
"Fareham Shopping Centre multi storey car park is an excellent alternative for town centre parking while the work is taking place, with plenty of disabled spaces available and an easy route into the shopping centre itself, where Shopmobility can be found for anyone who requires their services.
"I would remind residents that our town centre car parks provide more than 1,000 car parking spaces within walking distance of the shopping centre, and the number of spaces will increase significantly once the new Fareham Live car park is complete."
