@ScootFoundation The parking was all vandalised. So had to be removed. There’s an issue removing the whole thing cause the contract on the advertising but the thing needs to go. I’ve asked if the plan is to mvoe it spend the money on moving it not fixing it. It should never have gone there.
So they got rid of the bike parking but kept the canopy and ads? Why??
