Central parking near library and Guildhall
Silverdale Road Car Park is a council-operated surface lot located on Silverdale Road (B5044), providing convenient parking for Newcastle-under-Lyme town centre visitors. The asphalt site offers approximately 70 marked bays, including four Blue Badge spaces adjacent to the entrance. It is open 24 hours; pay-and-display charges of £1.20 per hour (capped at £5.00 for up to 8 hours) apply MondaySaturday from 8 am to 6 pm via machines accepting coins, contactless cards, and ParkMobile. Outside charging hours, parking is free, but wardens enforce against overstays. LED lamp columns ensure illumination until midnight, and CCTV cameras monitor all access points. Pedestrian exits lead directly to Newcastle Library (0.2 km), the Guildhall (0.3 km), and the bus interchange (0.4 km). Two 7 kW EV charging bays are located at the northeast corner, billed through a posted phone number. Seasonal artisan markets on adjacent pavements reduce available spaces by 15; signage directs drivers to the Talke Road overflow lot (0.5 km). Routine maintenance includes line repainting each spring and pothole repairs each autumn.
