On street car parking
Charges apply either Monday to Friday OR Monday to Saturday depending on the street (please check the on street tariff signage).
There are on street short stay pay and display parking places in: Barnard Street, Beaumont Street, Duke Street, East Raby Street, East Row, Gladstone Street, Grange Road, Hargreave Terrace, Horsemarket, Kendrew Street, Larchfield Street, Napier Street, North Lodge Terrace, Northumberland Street, Park Place, Powlett Street, Primrose Street, Raby Street, South Arden Street, Victoria Embankment, Victoria Road, West Powlett Street and Winston Street.
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.
There are short stay and long stay off street car parks surrounding the town centre, their location and charges are below. 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.
These are the charges as of Monday 11 January.
