Whitley Road Car Park is a tarmacked, council-operated facility located on Whitley Road, Whitley Bay (NE26 2TA), serving local shops, cafés, and the nearby metro station. The lot holds approximately 90 vehicles, including six accessible bays positioned close to the pedestrian exit onto Whitley Road. Pay-and-display applies MondaySaturday 08:0018:00 at £1.00 per hour, maximum stay 3 hours; Sundays are free. LED lighting columns illuminate the car park from dusk until 22:00, and CCTV cameras cover all entrances and circulation aisles. A pedestrian footpath leads to Whitley Bay Metro Station (0.1 miles), offering frequent services to Newcastle city centre. The asphalt surface was resurfaced in 2021, with bay markings repainted annually. Drainage gullies around the perimeter prevent pooling during heavy rain. Enforcement patrols ensure compliance, and an emergency call point near the pay machine connects to the council control room.
