Statement from the Town Mayor – Tour of Britain

Withernsea is looking forward to giving the riders, teams, visitors and spectators a very warm ‘Withernsea Welcome’ as the Tour of Britain comes through our town tomorrow.

It is fantastic to see an event of this scale visiting our part of the East Riding, and I’m sure residents and local businesses will join us in creating a great atmosphere and showing everyone watching what Withernsea has to offer.

Ahead of the event, we would encourage residents and visitors to take note of the official event guidance and the parking and traffic restrictions being put in place by East Riding of Yorkshire Council.

For those travelling into Withernsea or requiring alternative parking arrangements for the day, town centre parking is available at:

Free car parks

-Station Road – near The Hut
-Lee Avenue
-Hull Road
-Withernsea Library

Chargeable parking

-Memorial Car Park

Please plan your journey in advance, allow extra time and follow any temporary signage and instructions in place on the day.

Withernsea Town Council is not the organiser of the Tour of Britain event or the associated traffic and parking arrangements. We are sharing this local information to help residents, businesses and visitors plan for the day and to support what we hope will be a fantastic occasion for the town.

Most importantly, when the riders arrive, let’s line the route, make some noise and give them a Withernsea Welcome to remember!

Brity works in partnership with the British Red Cross and St John Ambulance to support first aid training and community education. They have created a free resource page for the Withernsea area, showing all publicly accessible defibrillators in and around the town. The page also includes a printable poster suitable for noticeboards, churches, and community centres, along with a short free online course covering the essentials: recognising a cardiac arrest, performing CPR, and using a defibrillator.

Please check out the link:
