On-street parking
On-street parking bays offer easy access to town centre businesses and facilities.
1. Hours
Parking charges apply from 10am until 4pm Monday to Saturday, and from 1pm until 4pm on Sundays.
Tantallon Terrace charges are from 10am until 6pm Monday to Saturday, and from 1pm until 6pm on Sundays.
2. Payment options
You can pay through the RingGo mobile app and through on-street paid for machines using cash, card or contactless. If a parking machine is unavailable, please use one of the online methods to avoid receiving a Penalty Charge Notice.
3. Costs and time limits
How much you pay and how long you can park for depends on the location. Areas closest to the town centre in high demand have restrictions to encourage turnover of spaces. All drivers should check on-street signage to ensure they comply with the parking rules.
Some areas, including High Street, offer up to 45 minutes free parking before charges start. You must register your arrival using one of the parking machines, RingGo app or online methods even if you are only staying within the free period to avoid a fine. Payment will only be needed for any time beyond the free period.

4. Vehicle types
On-street parking bays are not suitable for campervans and motorhomes. These vehicles can only be parked in car parks at Haugh Road and Sewage Works.
5. Blue Badge holders
Blue Badge holders can park for free in disabled parking spaces, paid for parking bays and on single and double yellow lines if there are no loading restrictions and it is safe to do so.
6. Resident parking bays
These bays are only for residents displaying a valid permit. Parking in a marked resident bay, even if you have paid for on-street parking, will lead to a Penalty Charge Notice. Some roads are for resident parking only.
