I spoke to the volunteer who was organising it he was waiting for then to come and flatten it out. Like everything in life there are standards and you have to have a base to lay tarmac on otherwise rain, frost, plants can all break it up along with driving over on Sky games we have heavy duty trucks reversing, turning all would rip up a poorly laid piece of tarmac. Have a closer look at the next side road or car park being laid it layered not a pile of flattened rubble.

I've seen it done, the base was like our carpark. Then when the time was ready they laid what I'd call hardcore, the steamrollered it. Then a machine with a man sat high up laid the tarmac then a guy with a push-type roller went over it to finish it. think they put down two layers.

So by my reckoning, the filling in or levelling takes us about a quarter of the way, which is all we need to be for now. It was an office car park that holds about 200 cars and leads to a loading bay and its lasted 10 years so far and I reckon it gets more use than BV will.

Over to you Mr Minards, can you fill us in on what’s going on in the car park? (Pun intended)

Re: Belle Vue car park. : Mon Jan 27, 2020 1:10 pm  

Maybe it's just levelling the the surface and tidying it up, when the super bowl was demolished it was then scattered access where the car park was to fill in the holes that was there previously, my lad came down to help me when I was brewing one day and when we exited the ground we had to leave over the broken rubble when he had got home he found that his car had scratched from front alloy down the side of both doors to the back, luckily it wasn't too deep and managed to be polished out.

Do you really expect the car park to have tarmac laid I wouldn't

After Super Bowl was flattened I found a large kitchen blade long sticking out the rubble on a match day. Thought better pick this up and hand it in, the steward looked a bit perturbed when I approached him.

Glad they’ve done some flattening. Positive that car park has cost me a couple of tyres

I'm sure that over Doncaster Road from Belle Vue, adjacent Neil Fox Way, there are several "experts" on Tarmaccing and ALL of them will be willing to carry out the work at a very reasonable price.

No. With the new road layout their hovel is just hidden from view a bit better.

I thought that the car park had been 'done' so that someone could do better donuts on it
