Castle car park will serve Newcastle-under-Lyme development

A multi-storey car park forms a key part of plans to regenerate part of Newcastleunder-Lyme’s town centre

The York Place scheme will see the creation of a public open space, shops and offices, a 100-bed hotel and the 450-space Castle car park.

The projects jointly form part of a £30m regeneration of the Ryecroft area, which also includes an Aspire development.

In 2020 Newcastle-under-Lyme secured £11m from the government’s Future High Street Fund for the Ryecroft development blueprint, with £3.5m allocated to the car park development and £3m for York Place.

Simon Tagg, leader of Newcastle-underLyme Borough Council, said: “York Place holds an important position, linking the important Ryecroft project to the wider town centre and its transformation will be significant, both in its own right and as part of the wider regeneration of the area.

“Equally important is the delivery of the new Castle car park, which is the cornerstone of the Ryecroft development because its presence will lift the town: a large, well-lit and safe car park will encourage people into Newcastle day and night and, in due course, allow us to redevelop the old Midway site and some other car parks.”

Building company Willmott Dixon will demolish an existing building in York Place and clear the way for two shop and office buildings, with the public open space created between Ironmarket and Merrial Street. It is hoped that construction of the car park will begin in August and the facility will be open by May 2024.

Cllr Tagg added: “Supporting the long- term vitality of Newcastle town centre is a permanent priority and the bringing together of these diverse projects on two adjoining sites will increase footfall and boost local shops, restaurants and businesses. While these schemes will inevitably take a little time to come to fruition, I am delighted we are on the way to making them a reality.”
