Newgate Car Park is a council-operated, tarmacked facility located at 41 Newgate, Pontefract (WF8 1NB), serving the heart of the town centre. The lot holds approximately 80 vehicles, including five accessible bays near the pedestrian exit onto Newgate. Tariffs are £1.00 per hour, maximum stay three hours MondaySaturday 08:0018:00; Sundays are free. LED lighting columns provide illumination from dusk until 22:00, and CCTV cameras monitor all circulation aisles. A pedestrian walkway leads to Pontefract Clock Tower (0.05 miles) and to the nearby Market Place (0.1 miles), where shops and cafés are located. The asphalt surface was resurfaced in 2021, with fresh bay markings and speed bumps to regulate traffic; perimeter drains are cleared quarterly to prevent pooling. Regular patrols by Wakefield Council enforcement officers ensure compliance.
