Banbury NCP car park to close this week amid administration

Joint administrators, Zelf Hussain, Rachael Wilkinson and Toby Banfield of PwC, said the selected sites “are commercially unviable”.

As a result, the car parks will be closed to customers from 11.59pm on Friday, March 27.

PwC said the closures of the car parks would mean 33 staff members are made redundant on Tuesday, March 31 and “they will be supported through the statutory redundancy payments process.”

While 22 car parks are closing, the company’s remaining 318 will stay open and there are no further closures confirmed at the time of writing.

Businesses that have entered administration in 2026

2026 has seen several retailers entering administration and others announcing widespread store closures.

Fashion brand LK Bennett collapsed into administration in January and launched a closing-down sale at its stores.

John Noon and Mark Firmin of Alvarez & Marsal Europe LLP were appointed joint administrators.

Following this, the LK Bennett brand and related intellectual property were sold to US firm Gordon Brothers, which also owns Laura Ashley and Poundland.

Alongside this, major high street retailers, including River Island, Primark, and Poundland, have been forced to close stores, while Revolution and BrewDog have shut the doors to 21 and 38 pubs, respectively.

UK construction company Onespace Group, which is based in Knutsford near Manchester and specialises in the creation of commercial office spaces, entered administration recently too.
