3 stupid teenagers on their bikes tried to bully and intimidate me while walking to my car to leave. They kept on getting on my way trying to stop me, they would not let me leave. It happened today at around 19:30. If you have cctv footage, it might help me on reporting them to the police. Be careful!
Always park here. Good price compared to other car parks in town. The downside is only two ticket machine and don't always work.
It's a car park, you pay your 50p for two hours, difficult to say much about a car park. Short walk to Pontefract town centre, castle and the hospital.
Top tip - if you are mobile and visiting Pontefract Hospital, park here it is so much cheaper than the hospital car park.
Good size car park handy for hospital and town centre
