Reclaim a car park.

What a great idea! Instead of just one space why not reclaim several?

"In 2005, artists in San Francisco reclaimed an ordinary car parking
space and turned it into a miniature park for the day. Since then a
growing movement has adopted a Park(ing) Day where cities around the
world appropriate parking spaces for public use. This year it's on
19th September. In Leeds meet outside Leeds City Museum, Cookridge
Street at 3.30pm. To start park(ing) in your town see www.parkingday.org
for inspiration...

Frivolous hypermobility, causing death of grass, lame cross-pondian
bollocks.

Most American cities don't have the wealth of open parkland that is
typical of British cities. Perhaps instead os sponsoring stupidity you
should just pop out and enjoy one of the many parks made available to
you entirely free?

In that case they'll still be looking for it next September 'cos it's
not there. LOL

This looks like littering / fly tipping to me. If enough people email

cs.enforce@leeds.gov.uk

With Mr Bollen's contact details the Council will be bound to act as
he is on record as being an accessory before the fact.

No, unfortunately, but I am hoping something similar will happen in
London, within cycling distance.
