National Car Parks (NCP) has gone into administration, with 22 of its parking sites across England and Wales shutting their doors this week, including a location in Oxfordshire.
Joint administrators Zelf Hussain, Rachael Wilkinson and Toby Banfield from PwC stated that the chosen sites are commercially unviable.
As a consequence, these car parks will cease operations for customers at 11.59pm on Friday, March 27.
According to PwC, the shutdown of these parking facilities will result in 33 employees losing their jobs on Tuesday, March 31, and they will be supported through the statutory redundancy payments process.
Although 22 car parks are shutting down, the company’s other 318 sites will continue trading and no additional closures have been confirmed as of publication.

Banbury’s Cherwell Centre NCP car park is not impacted by these closures.
Among the sites shutting are several locations in London and Leicester, as well as venues in Bournemouth, Birmingham, Luton and elsewhere.
The Marlborough Road (OX16 5EX) car park in Banbury will remain accessible until 11.59pm on Friday, March 27.
