Parking charges
We've introduced simple charges for parking in our car parks.
All prices are now set in whole pounds, with £1 buying an hour's parking in the city centre, and two or three hours outside the central zone. We've also installed easy-to-use payment machines that don't require car registration details.
Contactless or chip and pin card payments have been introduced at all pay and display car parks, and is available on some payment machines only.
A new night owl rate providing cheaper or free parking for vehicles arriving after 5pm is also available at all car parks.
Please always check car park tariff boards for charges payable.
