The Flemingate centre today (April 18) announced changes to parking charges.
From Thursday, April 28, shoppers will pay just ยฃ1 to park for three hours throughout the week at Flemingateโs 500-space car park. The ยฃ1 charge is a saving of ยฃ2.50 on the current cost, as part of a range of new, reduced parking tariffs.
The discounted rates are being introduced the day before the Tour de Yorkshire starts in Beverley, providing another great reason for visitors to come to the town to see the cycling spectacular, featuring stars such as 2012 Tour de France champion Bradley Wiggins.
As well as the ยฃ1 for up to three hours charge, shoppers and visitors will pay just ยฃ2 for up to four hours parking at Flemingate and ยฃ3 for a five-hour stay.
In addition, after 5.30pm it will cost just ยฃ1 for three hours and a maximum of ยฃ2 for the evening, enabling people to benefit from inexpensive, safe and secure parking as they enjoy Beverleyโs buoyant night-time economy. On Sundays, parking charges will be ยฃ1 for up to three hours and ยฃ2 for over three hours.
The new charges are being introduced as a medium-term initiative as part of Flemingateโs long-term promotional strategy.
Flemingate Centre Manager Graham Tait said: โFlemingate has now been open for almost six months and weโve been listening to the views of visitors to our car park over that time.
โWe feel these new tariffs offer tremendous value and meet the desire for shoppers and visitors for inexpensive parking in Beverley town centre.โ
Flemingate opened in November 2015 and features some of the UKโs best-known retailers, restaurants and cafรฉs including Debenhams, H&M, Wilko, Costa and Patisserie Valerie, as well as independents such as jeweller Guest & Philips, fashion retailer BOLO and Deli No. 1.
Recent weeks have seen a series of new lettings announced, including Baytree Interiors, Gourmet Burger Kitchen, Riva Lounge, Greggs and Subway.
Mr Tait added: โWe donโt have a firm timescale for how long this initiative will last, but we believe people will respond really positively to it and it will provide a major boost to trade not just at Flemingate, but throughout Beverley.
โWe believe the timing is perfect, coming just before the Tour de Yorkshire, which is expected to attract thousands of additional visitors to Beverley, and weโre keen to play our full part in helping to make the event a great success for the town.
โItโs also a brilliant bonus for shoppers and traders as we move into the summer season when Flemingate will really come into its own, as an open shopping centre blending into Beverley town centre, and with a series of new shops and restaurants opening to complement our existing retail and leisure offering.โ
