About Parking in Pendle

Pendle Council operates short-stay and long-stay town centre car parks, all of which are free of charge.

The maximum length of stay in a short-stay car park is two and a half hours. If you think you may need longer than this, we would recommend you use a long-stay car park instead.

When using the short-stay car parks, you must display a disc showing your time of arrival. You can pick up a free disc from all Council offices and many nearby shops. Alternatively, you can telephone Engineering and Special Projects on 01282 661053.

The short-stay car parks are patrolled on a regular basis by civil enforcement officers, who may serve a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) if they have reason to believe that a vehicle is parked in contravention of the parking regulations.

You will contravene the regulations if:

• you fail to display a disc
• you show a false time of arrival (the disc should be set to the nearest quarter mark)
• you subsequently return to the vehicle and alter the time displayed on the disc
• you park for longer than two and a half hours
• you re-park your vehicle in the same car park within two hours of driving away
• you park beyond the bay markings (ie your vehicle occupies two parking spaces).
