LARGE chunks of the Westgate’s multi-storey car park have now been cleared away as demolition of the 1970s structure continues.

Work at the site began in late February, kicking off the £440 million redevelopment of the shopping centre.

It will see most of the existing mall building off Bonn Square refurbished and two shopping buildings constructed, with an underground car park.

Developer Westgate Oxford Alliance has also hired Oxford Archaeology to examine the site for historical remains.

Oxford Archaeology has said the dig, involving more than 60 of its specialists, is the biggest to take place in the city.
