Photo: [Pexels](https://www.pexels.com) ## The Bridges Rooftop and Multi-Storey Car Parks The Bridges Shopping Centre has two centre car parks, the rooftop and multi-storey, with 940 spaces available (thebridges-shopping.com). Sunderland City Council lists parking from 8am to 3pm Monday to Friday at £1.50 per hour, with a £7 daily rate (sunderland.gov.uk). The council also lists [free parking](https://www.parksy.com/parking-near-me) after 3pm Monday to Friday, while Sundays and Bank Holidays have a £3 flat rate (sunderland.gov.uk). The shopping centre says the multi-storey car park provides access to the centre (thebridges-shopping.com). The rooftop car park has more than 10 Blue Badge bays, although parking is not free for Blue Badge holders (accessable.co.uk). ## When Sunderland Centre Parking Is Busiest The council's Monday to Friday tariff applies from 8am to 3pm, so shoppers arriving during those hours need to allow for the hourly charge or daily rate (sunderland.gov.uk). Free parking after 3pm Monday to Friday can suit a later visit, while the £3 Sunday and Bank Holiday flat rate covers those stated days (sunderland.gov.uk). The Bridges lists its multi-storey car park as open today from 9am to 6pm, with car park opening times and tariffs directed to its parking information service (thebridges-shopping.com). The centre has published access information for reaching the shops via the multi-storey car park (thebridges-shopping.com).
