What is disc zone parking?
The Disc Parking Scheme in operation throughout Cumbria, gives drivers the opportunity to locate a short-stay, parking space close to shops and the town centre facilities, while encouraging the rapid turnover of available parking spaces.
Disc Zones offer free, time-limited on-street parking Eden.
When parking in a disc zone:
-
Display the disc clearly on the vehicle windscreen showing the correct time of arrival.
-
Check the disc zones signs - times allowed vary: 30 minutes, 1, 2 or 3 hours.
-
Ensure you return within the time limit to avoid receiving a Penalty Charge Notice.
Clock discs can be obtained free of charge from shops in the town centre, displaying a parking poster. Alternatively discs can be posted to you, prior to your visit, from the Penrith Tourist Information Centre telephone: 01768 867466 or email customer.services@eden.gov.uk.
