Find out about the work we are doing at the Garfield Road site in Paignton.
The information on this page is correct as of 23 October 2023.
For several years there have been plans for the regeneration of Garfield Road car park.
Land Release Funding we secured is allowing us to move forward with this project. The aim of Land Release Funding is to help councils with their regeneration projects. In particular when it comes to delivering new homes.
The Garfield Road car park forms part of the wider Victoria Centre site. We identified it in the Local Plan as an area of future growth for investment, housing and employment.
Only coaches and high-sided vehicles can park on the ground floor at the moment. We closed all other floors in September 2021.
We are now moving forward with demolishing the Garfield Road section of the car park. This is the old part of the car park. The adjoining Victoria car park will remain open as normal.
We have appointed Wrings Group to carry out the demolition work. They are a reputable contractor.
The demolition programme starts in October 2023 and ends in the Spring of 2024.
The demolition works will take place in stages.
We know that these works will bring some disruption to the area.
The demolition of buildings and structures is a carefully managed process. We will take the Garfield Road structure down, piece by piece.
We are working with the contractor to make sure disruption is minimal. Measures include:
Planning approval was given for the following working hours.
Some work may be carried out outside of the planning approved hours, with prior approval and consent.
The adjoining Victoria carpark will be open during the demolition works. Some spaces and levels will be out of use during certain times. This is unavoidable due to safety measures that need to be in place.

We are looking at alternative options to re-provide further parking solutions across Paignton. This is an ongoing piece of work.
