Parking

Our car parks

There are numerous car parks owned by us across the district.

The locations of car parks can be found using the links below. Note that, as the above maps aren't updated by us, charges shown may not be up to date.

Alternatively, you can view our schedule of car parks to find opening hours, capacity and parking charges.

Make sure that you have bought a ticket and that is is clearly displayed when using any of our car parks.

If there is a problem with a pay and display machine, report it to us.

Don't forget, if you do not have change, you can always purchase parking via the Phone and Pay service.

We provide disabled parking provisions in most of our car parks. You can view the number of disabled parking bays available here.

At this present time, none of our car parks provide dedicated motor home parking. If you do need to park your motor home, we recommend purchasing multiple tickets to cover the number of bays you have parked in.

Season tickets

We use a fully electronic ticket system called MiPermit which means that you will not need to display a paper season ticket in your vehicle.

Details of your season ticket are synchronised with our Civil Enforcement Officers hand-held devices so they can see in real-time that you have a valid ticket to park your vehicle.

To purchase or renew your season ticket you do not need to register with MiPermit. You can simply use the system to make your purchase. This will cover the use of one vehicle in the selected car park.

Registering a full account with MiPermit provides additional control over your ticket, such as the ability to edit daily which vehicle the season ticket applies. These alterations are free of charge.

If you are not able to apply or renew your season ticket online, you can also make payments by calling 0345 520 7007.
Residents' parking and on-street parking

The residents' parking scheme and permits are operated by Somerset County Council.

Any queries about new residents parking zones or amending the existing zones should be addressed to SCC Highways office at Countyroads-southsom@somerset.gov.uk or call 0300 123 2224.

For any queries, refunds or applications for permits, visit Somerset County Council or call 0345 520 7007.
