Default Car park collapse

What I find strange is that the Council have apparently told the BBC
that it is nothing to do with them because it is privately owned. I
would have thought that the council would be involved in both finding
out whether it had been built according to regulations and whether it
was a danger to the general public around. Unless no part of it is near
a public place, which seems unlikely.


I agree. They surely have a duty to the public regarding the safety of
buildings in general, let alone (more) bits of buildings falling onto
the highway. They've even got a contract out:

Probably talking to the wrong department (parking rather than Building
Control).

NCP appear very relaxed - "a bit of the facia fell off - so what?"
