Motorists baffled by stone chessboard installed in Nottingham parking lot at taxpayers’ expense

Overall, the installation of a stone chessboard in a parking lot in Sherwood, Nottingham has left motorists and residents scratching their heads. The addition, part of a larger upgrade to car parks in the area, has been criticized for taking up valuable parking space and being impractical for outdoor chess playing due to the weather. Despite the backlash, Nottingham City Council defends the move, stating that the area could be used for various activities, not just chess. The council plans to evaluate the success of the project and make changes based on public feedback. The unusual addition has sparked debate and confusion among locals, with many questioning the logic behind the installation.
