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.
