Summary

Leicester City Council has sealed off the historic Lee Circle car park after years of chaos — from illegal car meets and drug use to homeless encampments and speeding — following the collapse of operator NCP. The court sided with the council, ordering closure without resistance from NCP’s administrators, and now the site is boarded up for at least three months while the council recoups costs. Once a bustling landmark opened in 1961 with celebrity flair, the car park’s decay has turned it into a neighborhood nightmare — but safety is now the priority, with hopes pinned on a new operator to restore order.
