Visitors to Rotherham will have an additional 40 temporary parking
spaces to use in the town centre from Monday (8 October).
Following the demolition of the former Rotherham Magistrates Court, land
at the Statutes, off Main Street, is now available for use as a car
park.
Motorists can park for the following prices:
* 2 hours – £1
* 4 hours – £2
* All day – £3
Those who prefer to use a cashless option can pay using the RingGo App
using the code 18472.
Blue badge holders can park free of charge in the designated disabled
spaces.
These new spaces are in addition to those at nearby Forge Island, where
motorists can enjoy two hours free parking on weekdays and free parking
all day at the weekends in the “red zone”.
Rotherham Council’s Cabinet Member for Jobs and the Local Economy, Cllr
Denise Lelliott said: “These extra car parking spaces at the Statutes
will give additional capacity to visitors to the town centre.
“We now have a wide range of parking options available across the town
centre, including free parking at both Forge Island and Drummond Street
car parks, which we hope will give a boost to our town centre businesses
in the run up to the Christmas period.
“With a number of events coming up this autumn, including the
International Market, the Rotherhowl Halloween town centre trail and
Remembrance Sunday, I hope the additional parking capacity proves useful
to shoppers and visitors.”
Motorists wanting to access the new parking facilities can find the car
park by turning left just after Main Street Police Station (from
Centenary Way) or right before the police station if coming from
Westgate.
