Garfield Road car park

For several years there have been plans for the regeneration of Garfield road car park. We have now secured funding for this development.

Only coaches and high-sided vehicles can park on the ground floor at the moment. We closed all other floors in September 2021.

What will happen

The demolition works will take place in two key stages.

Stage 1 – November to December 2022

• agree and sign the contract with the demolition contractor
• pre-works around the Western Power Distribution substation
• instal hoarding around the site

Stage 2 – early 2023

• demolition will take place

Victoria car park will be open as normal. Victoria car park has 416 spaces. The street parking spaces on Garfield Road will also be available as normal.

After the demolition

We are looking at ways of keeping the current number of parking spaces in central Paignton. This may include a temporary surface-level car park at Garfield Road. We expect to be able to confirm options in early 2023.
