Cars Submerged As Car Park Floods Again

Over 20 cars are submerged in water after a Market Harborough car park flooded today, for the fourth time in four weeks.

The private car park off Rockingham Road, opposite the railway station, is located where the River Jordan meets the River Welland.

There have been calls for it to be closed down permanently due to the continued problem of flooding.

County Car Parks, who operate the car park, have so far not responded to calls from Hfm.

Harborough Council has written to the owners of the land to express concern about the recent flooding incidents, urging them to consider flood alleviation measures and appropriate signage to advise users of the car park that the land is liable to flooding in adverse weather conditions.
