​New parking arrangements will be introduced at Europa Point car parks following concerns over parking availability

New parking arrangements will be introduced at the car parks at Europa Point after concerns that parking availability was taken up by long term stationary vehicles.

There will be no overnight parking allowed in the car park closest to the children’s park between the hours of 2am to 8am daily. This aims to ensure users of the sporting complex, the children’s recreational facilities or those visiting relatives may find parking between the hours of 8am to 2am. The car park will be demarcated in yellow to denote a parking restriction after 2am.

The existing bus laybys are to be signposted for coaches and Public Service Vehicles. This is to allow loading and unloading of passengers wishing to visit the area without the need for parking elsewhere.

Nun’s Well car park will see the introduction of monthly cleaning campaigns every 2nd Wednesday of the month with the aim of keeping the area clean as well as removing long stay and derelict vehicles.

The new car parking measures will be monitored over time to gauge their effectiveness.

Transport Minister Paul Balban, says Europa Point is one of the main leisure areas in Gibraltar which is regularly visited by Gibraltarians and tourists alike. This new parking arrangement is intended to positively manage the parking stock so that spaces are readily available for users either for leisure or sporting activities.
