Haymarket Car Park refurbished in Leicester

Following Seddon’s appointment to Lot Two of the Leicester City Council Construction Framework, the entirety of which is worth approximately £240M, the contractor company was tasked with delivering £1.5M worth of refurbishments to the Haymarket Car Park.

Specifically, these refurbishment works to the Haymarket Car Park require a two stage process, the first of which entailed the resurfacing of the top level, the resurfacing of the surface-level pedestrian walkways, re-laying the outdoor deck, installing weatherproof covering, and repairing the concrete and brickwork.

Comparatively, the second phase of the refurbishment works involved the refurbishment of the ground floor, in addition to the alteration of the car park entrance.

However, various other contractors will be appointed to the scheme throughout the Spring of 2020 to continue refurbishment of the disabled access points which connect the car park to the Haymarket Theatre and Travelodge Hotel, as the car park only provides direct access to the Haymarket Shopping Centre.

The Project Officer for Leicester City Council, Mark Govan stated: “Seddon was on-site for the Haymarket project from May to December 2019. Any issues were quickly and effectively resolved, and the works were completed to a high standard.

“The team was also brilliant when it came to helping and advising the public. Haymarket is one of the busiest parking areas in the city, so it has not been easy while the project has been ongoing. However, the Seddon team helped to make the process as seamless as possible.”

The Operations Director at Seddon, Andy Price added: “The success of this particular project is down to stringent planning and working in close collaboration with other key stakeholders. All of this meant the car park could remain open throughout the major works. We look forward to building on the strong partnership we formed with Leicester City Council during this scheme.”
