Secure long-stay parking with barrier access and cycle lockers
Heworth Metro North Long Stay Car Park is a secure, barrier-controlled facility providing 300 spaces on a sealed tarmacadam surface, adjacent to Heworth Metro Station north exit. The lot operates 24/7 with flat-rate parking of £4 per day, payable via credit/debit at barrier kiosks upon exit or via Metro parking app. Twenty accessible bays (3.6 m wide) sit closest to the pedestrian underpass leading to the station concourse, featuring tactile paving and drop-kerb access. LED column lighting with motion-activated pedestrian pathway lights ensures safety during off-peak hours, and 24-hour CCTV with ANPR cameras monitors all entrances and aisles. Covered cycle lockers for 30 bicycles are positioned near the station entrance for combined bike-and-ride commuters. In 2024, the car park was resurfaced and line markings repainted; drainage channels along the southern perimeter prevent surface water pooling. Security patrols by Nexus staff occur hourly from 6 am to midnight, and an emergency help point is located in the central aisle.
