Newcastle upon Tyne - Off-Street Car Parks Variation Order
What is happening?
CITY OF NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE
(OFF STREET PARKING PLACES) ORDER 2021
(OFF-STREET CAR PARKS VARIATION) ORDER 2024
1. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on 13th June 2024 the Council of the City of Newcastle upon Tyne made an Order under Sections 32, 35 and Part IV of Schedule 9 to the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, as amended, which varies the City of Newcastle upon Tyne (Off Street Parking Places) Order 2021 (“the 2021 Order”).
2. The effect of the Order which will come into operation on 1st July 2024 is to -
(a) introduce a new Ruby Season Ticket for use in the car parks listed in the table below. The Ruby Season Ticket will provide a dedicated parking bay 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to the holder (although the Council will not be able to guarantee use of the parking bay as it cannot account for motorists who are prepared to breach the conditions of use of the car park, accepting the risk of a Penalty Charge Notice).
The cost of these season tickets is detailed in the table below:
| Tier | Car Park | Price for 2024/25 |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Claremont Road | £3,931 |
| 1 | Dean Street | £3,931 |
| 1 | Eldon Garden | £3,931 |
| 1 | Ellison Place | £3,931 |
| 1 | Morden Street | £3,931 |
| 1 | Oxford | £3,931 |
| 1 | Saville Place | £3,276 |
| 2 | St Georges | |
| 2 | Argyle Street | £3,276 |
| 2 | Close Swing Bridge | £3,276 |
| 2 | Grainger Town | £3,276 |
| 2 | Manors | £3,276 |
| 2 | Quayside | £3,276 |
| 2 | Stadium | £3,276 |
| 3 | Melbourne Court West | £2,621 |
| 3 | Osborne Terrace | £2,621 |
(b) remove the option to purchase a Gold, Emerald and Diamond Season Ticket from Eldon Square MSCP and Spillers car park. Reason for the proposal -
Spillers Car Park - paying the day rate each day would be cheaper than paying for a tier 3 permit, and Eldon Square MSCP - the Council want to ensure the car park is dedicated to short stay parking only.
(c) remove the option to purchase a 6 month season ticket from all offstreet car parks.
Reason for the proposal - the virtual permit system does not allow for a 6 month season ticket. Season Tickets can still be purchased on a 4 week, 13 week or 12 month basis.
3. If you wish to view the documents relating to the Order (including the draft Order, Map and a statement of the Council’s reasons for proposing to make the Order), please email a request to streetworks@newcastle.gov.uk

4. If you wish to question the validity of the above Order or of any of its provisions on the grounds that it or they are not within the powers conferred by the Act or that any relevant requirements have not been complied with in relation to the Order you may, within six weeks from 13th June 2024, apply to the High Court for this purpose.
