Sheffield Council to demolish huge John Lewis car park at a cost of £1.3 million

Sheffield Council is planning to demolish the former John Lewis car park in the city centre ahead of proposals for the rest of the site...

Since acquiring the lease of the property from John Lewis in January, the council has been securing the building and commissioning surveys and investigations on the site.

The 400-space multi-storey car park in Barker’s Pool will be knocked down to make the site more attractive to prospective developers and reduce the number of vehicles in the city centre. In the council’s latest capital spending report it said the cost will be nearly £1.3 million which will come from prudential borrowing and be mitigated via the lease surrender payment the council received.
