New multi-storey car park expected to generate £35m for town’s economy

A scheme to build a multi-storey car park in Bridlington’s town centre is set to begin this spring.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council will invest £15.5m in the creation of a 426-space car park.

The development is intended to drive forward the wider regeneration of Bridlington with the aim of generating around £35m for the town’s economy.

Construction work is due to begin in April and the site is scheduled to open a year later, in spring 2026.

The facility in Beck Hill, between Manor Street and Hilderthorpe Road, should help ease congestion as well as support rejuvenation of the town centre.

Councillor Anne Handley, leader of East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said: “I am thrilled we can finally begin work on such a vital piece of infrastructure for the town.

“This investment is a clear signal of our confidence in Bridlington’s future.

“The new multi-storey car park will not only address current parking challenges but also support the town’s regeneration by making it easier for people to visit, shop, and enjoy everything Bridlington has to offer.

“This council is investing in Bridlington’s future and is committed to creating a vibrant, sustainable town centre that benefits residents, businesses, and visitors for years to come.

“We hope this new multi-storey car park will generate millions of pounds for the local economy.”

The multi-storey car park will be owned and operated by the council.

It will feature electric vehicle charging points, blue badge parking bays and easy pedestrian access to key areas of the town centre.
