On-street parking and pay and display car parks

There are no maximum stay restrictions for most on street pay and display bays, however, you must refer to local signage for further information. Please tender the correct money if paying by cash as no change is given and failure to display a valid ticket will result in a Penalty Charge Notice being issued.

Multi-storey car parks

The Council's multi-storey car parks are safe, secure and easy to use. When you return to the car park, take the ticket issued on entry to one of the pay stations. The pay stations accept cards, coins and notes and will also issue change.

A total of 81 fast EV charge points are available across levels 2-5 of Broad Marsh car Park, along with a vehicle management system which consists of electronic signs and lights showing available parking spaces, reducing vehicle movements and congestion. An installation of 720 solar panels on the roof also provides renewable electrical energy to power the car park and bus station, helping you to make sustainable travel choices.

Motorcycle parking

On street parking is free within dedicated motorcycle and pay and display bays. Unless signage indicates otherwise, there are no maximum stay restrictions. Motorcycles must be parked in the secure cage at Lace Market Car Park and in the designated motorcycle area at Trinity Square Car Park. No charge applies.
