Changes to parking charges and restrictions in Council car parks

We will be implementing changes to parking charges across all council car parks on Monday 31 March 2025.

The following will also apply:

• Short stay car park sessions now have a minimum stay of 2 hours
• Long stay car park sessions now have a maximum stay of 10 hours
  
• Parking charges apply from 8am to 6pm (Monday to Sunday) for both on-street and in car parks.
• Customers can now extend a parking session using the PayByPhone app or the payment machines (as long as this does not exceed the maximum permitted stay).
• There will be no changes to existing parking arrangements for blue badge holders.
  

There are also alterations to specific car parks and on-street parking bays:
