A CENTRAL multi-storey car park is due to close over busy times from next month.

The Whitehaven Harbour Commissioners has announced that a multi-storey carpark will be closing over weekends, following a review of their carpark operations.

The organisation stated: “Due to decreased demand we will be closing the Multi Storey Carpark located at Swingpump Lane on the weekends.”

The decision will be effective from February 1, with the town centre car park being closed on Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays.

Alternative facilities can be found at Quay Street North and Quay Street South Car Parks, 100 metres down the road.
