DRIVERS shopping in IKEA have been stuck in the car park for more than three hours trying to get out.

Motorists are left feeling tired and outraged at how long it is taking to get out, describing it as a 'shocking lack of organisation or care from IKEA.' 

Another shopper contacted the Chronicle and said: "This is increasing people's frustrations and decreasing mental well-being. Avoid IKEA Reading, gridlocked again.

An IKEA spokesman said the traffic problems are a result of an accident near to the store.

The spokesman said: “We are aware of traffic congestion following an accident nearby the Reading store.

"We are working with Highway England to ease the flow as soon as possible. We apologise for any inconvenience caused"

However, drivers are still queueing to get out of the car park. 

Kirsty Bedingfield said: "We are still queuing - nearly an hour now and moved about 10m. Just needs more people to organise the traffic."

One man has finally managed to get out of the IKEA car park after being stuck nearly 3 hours with his 7-month-old boy. 

He said: "So today went into IKEA reading, the shop taking roughly just over an hour to complete.

"It took 2.44 hours to exit the carpark. We were promised water and biscuits, which were never seen. The duty manager wasn't even aware of the issues."
