Car parking charges and opening times

How to pay for parking

We operate traditional pay and display on most of the car parks where you can pay with cash or by phone. Most of our car parks also accept card and contactless payments. Read more about our payment options.

Bank holiday parking

Please note: the hourly rate for each car park covers the whole day's parking on a bank holiday. This applies to the following car parks:

• Blackfriars
• Cherry Orchard
• Corporation Street
• Goose Street
• Hassell Street
• King Street
• School Street
• Silverdale Road
• Windsor Street

Motorcycles

Motorcycles can park for free in any council surface level car park. In addition there is a motorcycle space on Corporation Street, and two spaces, with anchor points at Windsor Street car park.

Motorcycle spaces are also available on Castle multistorey car park. Motorcycles need to pay and use the ticket system to enable the barriers to work.

Electric vehicle charging points

We are adding electric vehicle charging points to a number of our car parks. In the first phase they will be added to car parks at:

• Goose Street, Newcastle town centre

• King Street, Newcastle town centre

• Heathcote Street, Kidsgrove

• The Parade, Silverdale

We will provide more details once these are operational.
