"The surface and material have been failing due to lack of effective drainage in this section of the car park, and this issue has persisted despite the work that was completed last spring/summer."

No time frame has been given for when the area will reopen. The council added: "The car park will be closed during the works and reopen as soon as possible once the work is completed. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause."
