The car park above the bus station, has been closed since the end of February after a prank in which somebody, probably teenagers, painted new lines in the middle of the parking bays effectively creating new, smaller parking bays.
This caused people to park in the new spaces and nobody was able to exit their cars due to the short space between the vehicles. This caused extreme anger and confusion among customers.
Lincolnshire Council are now in the final stages of the repair for the car park.
Steve Bird, assistant director communities and street scene, said: “Whilst we understand the delay to Thornbridge has been an inconvenience, we hope people will understand that the problems created by pranksters have been something beyond our control. We are pleased it will be back open next week.
“Having good quality parking available is an essential part of encouraging people into the city to work, shop and support tourism.
“We would like to thank people for their patience during the delay. Their understanding has been greatly appreciated.”
When Thornbridge reopens it will be equipped with new CCTV cameras linked to Lincoln CCTV control which will prevent this sort of thing from happening again.
Its opening will relieve some of the pressure on car parking in the city, with the NCP multi-storey experiencing high demand today.
