Commuters found water up to car wheels in notorious car park opposite railway station in Market Harborough
Thousands of gallons of murky brown water poured into Welland Quarter car park – which regularly floods - yesterday afternoon (Mon).
Trouble erupted after Harborough was hit by a devastating 12-hour rainstorm while water also streamed into the car park off drenched land.

Hide AdA Harborough District Council spokeswoman said: “Colleagues have been out to assess the flooding and we’ve had one request for sandbags due to run off from the land rather than river flooding.”
Stafford-based County Car Parks Ltd, which operates the vulnerable low-lying Welland Quarter site, has been approached for comment.
The fast-flowing River Welland also burst its banks yesterday, turning Welland Park into a watery wonderland and paths were left submerged as the mini-monsoon hammered down.
