Annual Parking Report 2023 to 2024

Gateshead parking profile

The Council operates several public car parks throughout the Borough. These car parks tend to be concentrated in the areas of greatest demand, such as around Gateshead Quays or in Gateshead Town Centre, but there is also significant provision elsewhere.

The conditions of use vary depending on where the car park is situated. Those which apply in each car park are indicated on notice boards situated at each location, including when the car park may be used, and which vehicles may park there. The conditions and charges can change from time to time, so it is important that all drivers check the boards each time they visit. Where charges apply, the location of the Pay and Display machine is usually indicated by the presence of a "Pay Here" cone or similar signage. As well as paying with cash and displaying a ticket in the traditional way, for a small administration fee it is also possible to pay the parking charge electronically in all of our car parks, using the Pay By Phone app.
