Car park work 2022

FAQs

• Can I still get into shops while work is going on?

  Yes, you’ll still be able to access Sainsbury’s, Asda Living and Next – along with all our other stores here – while work is being undertaken.

• Why are you doing this?

  To complete repair work, it means digging up the surface, replacing it and resurfacing the upper deck of the car park in three stages.

• Why are you doing it now?

  We have to do it when the weather is most likely to remain relatively dry, so have avoided winter.

• How do we get into the car park during work?

  As always, please try to enter via the Marsh Way main entrance but both entrances should be generally unaffected, except the Asda Living/bus station entrance which may need to close for a couple of days during phase three. The lower deck will be mostly unaffected.

• Will there be space for me to park when visit?

  Yes, the reason why we have asked for work to be done in sections is so we can maintain as many parking spaces as possible. Once each section is completed it will be reopened for use before contractors move to the next section. The lower deck will remain in action throughout so there should be plenty of parking spaces. Please follow signage.

  If we do fill up, then nearby parking at The Ridings is available along with Wakefield Council street parking and Merchant Gate.

• I need to access disabled spaces, will that be possible?

  Yes, the plan is for our disabled bays outside of Sainsbury’s to be accessible for most of the time. If there are any changes we’ll have signage in place to help you.

• Will family parking be available?

  Yes, except for when work is taking place during phase three around July/August near to that section which means access to those spaces may not be available during that time. Again, we’ll have signage out to guide you.

  And as soon as we can restore it, we will.

• How will I know when it’s all finished?

  We’ll do our best to update people through social media and our website so people know what’s happening.
