Car parks
We manage 18 off street car parks in the district. Of these 8 are free to park in, and the other 10 are either long or short stay pay and display car parks.
Parking in Ashfield
All our car parks are clearly signed and show what type of parking is available. Information about charges and where to pay is also clearly signed in each car park.
We make sure our car parks are well maintained, well lit, clean, safe and secure as well as in line with current parking regulations. We regularly visit our car parks to enforce charges.
Marked bays are available for Blue Badge holders in most of our car parks. All vehicles need to be parked fully within a bay where spaces have been marked.
Vehicles are parked entirely at owners risk and we accept no responsibility for loss or damage to vehicles or their contents however caused.
Penalty Charge Notices (PCN) can be issued to vehicles parked in contravention of the regulations.
