Pay and Display bay locations
Due to unforeseen circumstances there are currently no parking ticket machines at Mulgrave Terrace. Parking will be free of charge until a new machine is installed.
The charges shown below apply from April 2020. If there is a difference between the tariffs shown below and the tariffs displayed on the machine, the machine display will be correct.
As well as paying with cash and displaying a ticket in the traditional way, for a small additional administration fee the PayByPhone option is also available.

Some of the main rules and concessions which apply are:
- Motorcycles may park free of charge in on street parking bays in the Borough.
- Disabled parking/blue badge holders may park free of charge in all on street parking bays, provided the journey is for the badge holder's purposes and a valid blue badge is properly displayed and can be clearly seen through the windscreen. The blue badge holder must be present.
- Only tickets obtained from a machine relating to the bay concerned are valid, and tickets are only valid on the date of issue and for the vehicle for which they were first bought.
- The pay and display ticket should be displayed face-up in the windscreen where the printed information can be clearly seen. The expiry date and time must always be visible, so always take a moment to check this when leaving your vehicle, especially in windy weather. Failure to follow these instructions may result in a Penalty Charge Notice being issued for not clearly displaying a valid ticket.
- You must park completely inside the bay markings and you should not use the space unless all of your vehicle can fit inside the bay markings. Any vehicle parked with at least one wheel outside the bay markings may be issued with a Penalty Charge Notice.
- Some longer streets may have different times and prices in different bays. Many of these streets also have other types of bay within them (for example "permit parking only" bays). Always check the signs next to the bay in which you are parked and don't assume that your bay is the same as the one in front or behind.
- You can apply to have a bay suspended in advance (charges apply). If you park in a suspended bay which has not been reserved for you, you may receive a Penalty Charge Notice.
- Parking charges and rules apply on public holidays unless signs at the locations state otherwise.
