The demolition of the Carlton Street Multi-storey car park got underway on Monday 21st November with the work expected to take about seven weeks. North Lincolnshire Council is liaising with town centre businesses to ensure disruption is kept to a minimum as demolishing the car park is a complex operation and it will be dismantled from the top down with an exclusion zone in place around the site. Initially work will be carried out at night during the first three weeks.
North Lincolnshire Central Library is the nearest building to the multi-storey car park and will close temporarily from Saturday, 10th December to Monday 9th January.
The Demolition will open up the area for development and the space created will complement land being made available by the demolition of the neighbouring Scunthorpe Leisure Centre although currently there are no long terms plans for the two sites.

Visit Scunthorpe is North Lincolnshire's only truly independent, non commercial, community news web site.
Established in January 2010 we have lots of members with a wide range of views who all contribute
independently with articles of their own.
You won't find dozens of adverts covering our site, or some poor attempt to promote local business services under the guise of offering a community service.
Here on VisitScunthorpe we are interested in just one thing, building an online community which is representative of the people of Scunthorpe, North Lincolnshire and the surrounding area.
