The Endeavour Wharf Car Park will Close at the end of the month.
North Yorkshire Council says that construction work on Whitby's new Maritime Hub will start next in April and that a result the Endeavour Wharf car park will be closed from 31 March.
The council say that operational harbour access will be retained for permit holders and that alternative parking is available on on Langborne Road.
The project, which secured £10 million from the Towns Fund in 2020, is now set to begin construction with a projected 13-month timeline.
The new hub is intended to capitalise on the growth of the maritime and offshore renewables sectors by providing business, research, and training facilities. It is hoped the hub will address socio-economic challenges, such as diversifying the local economy, creating high-quality jobs for younger people, and attracting partners in the offshore renewables industry. The facility aims to provide training and employment opportunities, targeting a younger demographic within Whitby.
The project gained planning approval in August 2024 and received the final go-ahead in January.
Concerns have been raised by residents regarding the risk of flooding and the loss of parking spaces during construction.
The Whitby Maritime Hub is expected to be fully operational by Spring 2026. Once construction is complete 198 parking spaces will be available on the site including disabled car parking.
