A busy city centre car park was temporarily closed this morning following an ‘obstruction’. The 2,000-space St David’s car park in Cardiff is one of the largest and most popular car parks in the city and is always busy at weekends.
The temporary closure threatened to cause disruption with the already busy weekend traffic. The centre however reassured shoppers that the smaller John Lewis car park remained open as usual for customers while the neighbouring car park was closed. St David’s has since confirmed the car park has reopened.
On X, the shopping centre wrote this morning: “Please note that our main car park is temporarily closed due to an obstruction. We are working to resolve this and will update you here when it reopens. The John Lewis car park remains open.”
