We will soon begin deconstruction works to the Covent Garden Multi-Storey Car Park. The aim of the project is to reduce the height of the existing building in order to make it structurally sound. This will allow us to bring the lower two levels of the car park back into use for long-stay parking for the next two to three years, while long term plans for the site are determined.

To carry out this work safely, a section of the adjacent Covent Garden Surface Car Park will be temporarily closed to allow for the secure dismantling and removal of building materials from the site.

DSM Demolition Limited (DSM) have been awarded the contract to undertake the demolition and associated works. DSM will take possession of the site towards the end of July (21st) and are due to complete the works by early December.

Due to the works and hoardings in place to keep the area safe, the Covent Garden Surface Car Park will be limited to 32 spaces. However, we are confident that the town’s car parks can accommodate the temporary reduction of parking spaces. Below is a list of alternative parking provisions available and the distance from the Parade/Warwick Road.
