The cost of parking for the first 3 hours hasn't changed. If you park for longer than 3 hours, the costs increase - this is to discourage long stay parking and ensure short stay parking is always available.

You have a 5 minute allowance to find your parking place before you start to get charged. Once you've paid for your parking, you have 15 minutes to exit the car park. The 15 minute allowance to exit Sand Street car park does not apply when using PaybyPhone. If you leave without paying for your parking, you'll be issued with a fixed penalty notice.
