Following years of debate, the £9.9 million transformation of Castle Car Park has finally been approved!
While the demolition of Castle Car Park (and its nearly 300 parking spaces) has presented a source of concern for some drivers, it’s thought that any displaced parking demand will be alleviated by a £200,00 investment in the multi-storey car park at Coppergate, and the inclusion of 30 Blue Badge spaces at the refurbished site. In place of the car park, we’ll see a calming green space known as Castle Garden (marking the historic fortress entrance), a circular path around the base of Clifford’s Tower, and a radial riverside walkway. We will also see the introduction of the 1190 Memorial Space to mark the Clifford’s Tower pogrom of 1190.
