I think you meant to say 'belonged'. LCC had to sell the property for the best price that they could get - if they'd have sold it for less than the market value they would have been accountable to their voters. HBC were not prepared to pay the market value but somebody else was so they sold it to him.
I too wish that it was a car park. It would benefit all the shops around that area and would help the Town Hall - perhaps if HBC weren't such cheapskates and could actually look forward a bit they would have offered a fair price for it.
