A Fareham town centre car park is finally being demolished.

The Osborn Road multi-storey car park was set to be torn down from January 8 - and work is still progressing.

Once demolished, the car park will be later replaced by a surface car park with larger spaces and four electric charging points.

There is capacity to add a further 12 electric vehicle charging points if required.

This new Fareham Live car park will be open in 2024 in time for the first large performances at the new arts and entertainment venue of the same name.

Fareham council leader Council leader Sean Woodward said: “Fareham Shopping Centre multi-storey car park is an excellent alternative for town centre parking while the work is taking place, with plenty of disabled spaces available.

“It also provides an easy route into the shopping centre itself, where Shopmobility can be found for anyone who requires their services.

“I would remind residents that our town centre car parks provide more than 1,000 car parking spaces within walking distance of the shopping centre, and the number of spaces will increase significantly once the new Fareham Live car park is complete.”
