Public Car Parks

Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council is responsible for the enforcement of sixteen pay and display public car parks. Fifteen operate from Monday to Sunday and cater for up to 1,725 vehicles.  Eastlands car park which operates on Saturdays only, caters for a further 170 vehicles. 

Ten of the car parks have qualified for the ParkMark safer parking award; Central car park, Feathers Yard, Albert Yard, Jacobs Yard, Castons Yard, Southern Road, Castons, Sarum Hill and the visitors and staff car parks on the council campus.

This award is given by the Police to car parks that have measures in place that deter criminal activity and create a safer environment for both car park users and their vehicles. Further details of this scheme are at www.parkmark.co.uk

The system also provides 30 minute and 1 hour forecasts of the number of spaces expected to be available.
