Car Parks

• The Council has a policy of providing quality car parking for users of the Borough's town centres. Three hour limited shoppers' car parks are provided within or close to the shopping centres to encourage customers to use the centres. Long stay car parks are sited a little further away for those using the town centres for long periods.

• Charges apply to most car parks.  Further information about our town centre car parks in Beeston, Eastwood, Kimberley, and Stapleford can be found online:.

• Car parks are covered by the Broxtowe Borough Council Civil Enforcement Off Street Parking Places Order, which regulates their use. 

Please note, we only accept payment by cash at the pay and display machines on site or you can purchase a Parking Season Ticket for certain car parks within the borough.
