Newquay Town Council Car Parks

Newquay Town Council currently owns two public car parks, one at the Gannel and another at South Fistral, as well as two private car parks, on at the Municipal Offices on Marcus Hill and another at the Mount Wise Centre.

South Fistral Car Park - Pentire Road, Newquay, TR7 1QS

The Council operates one off-street pay-and-display public car park at South Fistral comprising of 134 parking spaces.

During the financial year 2025/26:

  • Off-street parking income: £25,136
  • Parking operating expenditure: £11,689
  • Net surplus/(deficit): £13,447

The surplus is used to maintain the car park, play area and support other council services.

This area is under a parking order and civil parking enforcement, including the issue of Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs), is undertaken by Cornwall Council. Income from PCNs is retained by Cornwall Council and is therefore not included within the Town Council’s parking transparency information.
