Parking in Accrington
 

This is a bit dull, but I'd really appreciate any info - I start work in Accrington tomorrow and I've just spent one & a half hours trawling round looking for somewhere in Accrington I can park for the whole day. All the car parks around the centre seem to be limited to 3 hours.

Could I park, say, in Avenue Parade and walk into town? any other suggestions?

Thanks

You can park all day on the Arndale but have to use the top level, unless they have changed the ruling again

Hi KSH

Thanks - Someone else told me that so I drove all the way to the top level. However, the notice there clearly says that it's limited to 3 hours so either they've changed the rules or you have to be "in the know". I really can't afford a parking fine so I'll be heading for residential areas and walking in.

Can't you catch a bus, walk or cycle?

The car park off Eastgate was originally all day free parking - maybe still is - someone here will know
Accrington UK - Google Maps

Yep I agree Margaret im sure that the car park in between the Queens and Kings is all day parking for free

Re: Parking in Accrington
 

So there are other car parks on Eastgate here (as well as the map already posted)-

I would be very careful of parking in a residential area, some residents around Avenue parade, take exception to people parking outside their houses.
Might be waiting for you coming back, or damage your car.
Try to find a patch with no houses, like Park St or part of Washington St.

Hi MargaretR,

As I mentioned, I'm pretty sure I studied all the car parks on Eastgate this afternoon, as this is where my employer suggested, but all those I saw clearly stated 3 hour max.

Thanks Retlaw, I'll check out those locations and try there, it'll be very early so I might have a chance.

No, can't walk or cycle. Only one bus route from Padiham to Accrington and bus at inconvenient time - getting me in half an hour early. Maybe I'm soft but I don't want to hang about in the winter cold & wet until my place of work opens! Also, I'll be "on show" immediately and need to be presentable rather than windswept.
