You have to display it in your car window and you get free parking before 11:00 or after 15:00 Mon &#8211; Sat or all day on Sundays and bank holidays at certain car parks. The only difficulty is that while there is a list of roads, there&#8217;s no map of where the car parks are. I asked the council for a map but they were unable to provide one and after a couple of years, I&#8217;ve bitten the bullet and made one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div
