Enjoying a drop of red.
The flood water has to go somewhere though.You are right the car park flooded regularly with any amount of ample rain. For significant periods of wet weather about 80% of the then council staff car park ( in the week) would be inaccessible, sometimes worse.
It was certainly the case after snow melted which we had plenty of last winter ( which flooded part of Victoria park last). Proof is in the result, cannot remember a year the car park did not flood, bar the last year.
That said all they had to do was level it out, the previous car park was on such a slope the water had nowhere to go except downhill where it met the marsh and would pool, such was the poor design exasperated by equally shoddy maintenance.
That won't happen now especially as there is proper drainage and an overflow system which pushes high water table from the marsh underneath the car park via drainage outflow
Time will tell where that is now.
