South Shore Road Car Park (Temporary)
Location
Postcode: NE8 3AE
Off South Shore Road, Gateshead Quays.
This is a medium sized car park facing the Millennium Bridge offering good access to Baltic Square and the various Cultural and Leisure Developments in the Gateshead Quays area.
This car park lies on an area of land that has been identified for redevelopment.
After considering formal proposals from four short-listed developers, Gateshead Council's Cabinet members finally chose Kier Property to develop the 5.5 acre Gateshead Quays Phase 2| site.
The proposed development will provide a tangible link between BALTIC, The Sage Gateshead and the Gateshead Millennium Bridge and will build on the emerging character of the area.
No firm date has yet been established as to when the car park will close to the public and development works commence, although a provisional date of October 2008 has been set.
Due to the uncertain future of the car park, permits will initially only be available up until the end of September 2008. The Parking Services team will however ensure that permit holders are kept updated on the current situation and notified formally before the end of August 2008, if a permit option can be re-offered from 1 October 2008 - 31 March 2009.
