THE thought of spending thousand of pounds on a place to park might seem extreme to some people.
But Savills estate agents is selling a patch of concrete that could attract more attention than some houses. they get for some houses.
It is tucked away in Fleeman Grove, Lady Bay, and is accessed by a private road.
It goes up for auction next month at a guide price of £4,000 to £5,000.
Bob Crocker, director of residential auctions at Savills, said he expected lots of interest in the space from residents, Forest and cricket fans and commuters.
He said: "The gentleman that owns the parking space previously built four flats just in front of it.
"He used to do business in Nottingham so retained the parking space for his own use.
"But he has now relocated and is no longer using it, so decided to sell it. I think there will be a wealth of interest.
"People affected by the parking levy will be interested because they can park their car there and get a bus into town, avoiding the levy and in the long run saving a lot of money.
"And residents and sports fans might also be interested.
"Parking is sparse in West Bridgford so this little space could be exactly what someone is after."
But neighbours said they were surprised by the price being asked.
Laura Dearie, of nearby Holme Road, said: "It's not too bad where I live on Holme road but around football match times it's terrible.
"I think £5,000 is a bit excessive but someone would probably be interested around here."
Shaz Ahmed sub-post master at Trent boulevard post office, said: "Parking around here is fine and not much of an issue.
"Sometimes it's gets a bit busy on match days but it's not too bad. £5,000 is a bit excessive."
While another person, who did not want to be named, said: "It is lacking in spaces around here.
"It is particularly bad on match days and Forest fans leave their cars wherever they want – you can't get in or out. £5,000 is a ridiculous price."
The parking space will be put on sale in June and anyone who is interested in it should telephone Mr Crocker on 07967 555577 or e-mail rcrocker@savills.com.
