Free afternoon parking in Durham City's on-street pay and display bays will come to an end on Friday 31 March 2023 at 6.00pm and normal charges will apply from Saturday 1 April 2023. All council owned car parks will continue to offer free parking after 2.00pm. This does not include Durham City Park and Ride, Hardwick Park, Wharton Park and Riverside Park (South Ropery Lane, North Ropery Lane and the Donald Owen Clark car parks) and car parks that we do not own.
