Safer Parking Scheme

The Safer Parking Scheme is a national standard for UK car parks that have low crime and measures in place to ensure the safety of people and vehicles. Each of the Council's pay and display car parks has undergone a rigorous assessment by specially trained police assessors and has been awarded a Park Mark (external link) for achieving the challenging standards.

Short stay pay and display

You can park for a maximum of four hours at the short stay pay and display car parks located at Bus Station, Market Way, Lunesdale, Park Road, Park Pool and Wheatsheaf.

Please note: The car park located at Two Saints Retail Park on which Aldi, Argos, McDonalds etc are located, is no longer a Council car park. The car park is owned privately and parking arrangements and enforcement are carried out by Parking Eye (external link).

Long stay pay and display

Longer stay pay and display parking can be found at The Stiles, Hants Lane, Hutton Way and Derby Street car parks. Contract parking is also available at the Hants Lane car park.
