Parking Guidelines

To avoid a parking fine being issued to your vehicle, please follow these guidelines:

  • Park only within the markings of a bay or space.
  • Do not obstruct any entrance, exit or passageway within the car park.
  • Display your pay & display ticket clearly in the front windscreen of the vehicle.
  • Check you can see the date & time from the outside of your vehicle.
  • Do not park for longer than the ticket allows.

Please also note:

  • No vehicle may stay longer than 24 hours.
  • Pay & display tickets are not transferable between car parks or vehicles.
  • A caravan may not be used in a car park for domestic purposes or as a place of habitation.

Motorcycle parking

Motorcycles may be parked free of charge in designated motorcycle bays available in the following car parks:

  • Devonshire Walk
  • Cecil Street
  • Swift's Bank

If a motorcycle is parked in a parking bay that is not designated for motorcycles then the normal daily charges apply.

If you cannot securely attach a pay and display ticket to the motorcycle, please keep it safe. If we issue a parking fine and you produce a valid ticket as evidence of payment, the fine will be withdrawn.

Parking Services

Parking Services maintain and enforce parking regulations in 14 pay & display car parks in Carlisle. This includes 34 Pay & Display Ticket Machines.
