It beggars belief doesn't it that the County and the local Council can mess things up in this way and not work together. The County didn't even need to sell it off they could have made it into a car park themselves, it wouldn't be a free one but I'm sure it's a better long term investment than selling off the land. It's such shortsightedness all around.
