Car parks and charges

On street car parking

Charges apply Mon to Sunday, payment can be made by coin or pay by phone. Times may differ depending on the street (8am to 6pm or 9am to 5pm).

This will be noted on the on street signage

Most on street parking places are limited to a maximum of two hours (no return within one hour) except Grange Road and Northumberland Street which are three hours (no return within one hour).

Once you have purchased a ticket you cannot top up your time.

Once your ticket has expired you must leave the street and not return within one hour.

This is to prevent vehicles parking for extended periods of time and to ensure visitors to the town centre have the opportunity to park close to nearby businesses.

Off street car parking and charges

Charges apply to all motorists, including blue badge holders, in council operated car parks. (Motorcyclist can park for free in marked motor cycle bays except at Feethams Multi Storey car park.)

There are short stay and long stay off street car parks surrounding the town centre, all are open 24hrs a day with the exception of East Street multi Storey which is opened daily at 7am and locked at 6.30pm.

Paybyphone operates in all council off street car parks except Feethams.

Most council car parks are covered by 24 hour CCTV surveillance.

Larger vehicles may use more than one parking space in the off street car parks, where the height restriction permits, provided that payment is made for all the parking spaces used.
