Additional parking for Berwick in time for Summer

  • Tweet
Saturday, 16 July, 2022
Cllrs John Riddle and Catherine Seymour

Berwick-upon-Tweed has been in need of additional parking spaces especially during the tourist periods.

Now with the summer tourist season upon us, more parking spaces have been made available in Berwick.

The Quayside car park, by The Chandlery, has more than doubled in size with a total of 85 spaces including 6 disabled bays and some bays suitable for motorhomes. The newly-expanded car park is free to park.

The work has involved redeveloping an adjoining ‘brown field’ site to enable the existing parking area to be significantly expanded and new surfacing, drainage and refurbishments of a section of wall between the upper and lower car parks. New low railings were also fitted around the new perimeter, leaving the existing coastal path intact.

Councillor John Riddle, Cabinet Member for Local Services, said: “Creating extra parking in all our towns can be a challenge but it’s great to have this major expansion of the Quayside carpark. 

We’re looking forward to another busy summer season for towns like Berwick and these new spaces will be of great benefit to both visitors and local residents.” 

Berwick North County Councillor Catherine Seymour said: “with increasing visitors and acute shortage of parking in the town, these extra car spaces will be of benefit to residents, businesses, tourism and the economy of Berwick.”
