Swinburne Street Car Park
Location
Postcode: NE8 1AX
Swinburne Street, Gateshead located to the north of the Town Hall.
This is a small car park at the boundary of Gateshead town centre offering good access to this busy retail and commercial area.
This car park was awarded the Park Mark Safer Parking standard in 2007. This is an initiative of the Association of Chief Police Officers ( ACPOs ), aimed at reducing crime and the fear of crime in parking areas. The Park Mark Safer Parking award is granted to parking areas that have achieved the requirements of a risk assessment as conducted by the Police. These requirements mean the parking operator has put in place measures that help to deter criminal activity and anti-social behaviour, thereby doing everything they can to prevent crime and reduce the fear of crime in their parking area. For customers, using a Park Mark Safer Parking area means that the area has been vetted by the Police and has measures in place in order to create a safe environment.
Spaces
This is a surface car park with 57 spaces.
