We have numerous pay and display car parks available across the district, ranging from short stay, town centre car parks, to longer-stay car parks which are usually on the edge of the town centre.

Parking regulations

Parking in Newark and Sherwood is covered by the Civil Parking Enforcement order for Newark and Sherwood (PDF File, 212kb) 

Parking for disabled people 

Disabled people can park for free in all Newark and Sherwood District Council car parks, provided they are parked in a designated disabled space and a valid disabled person's badge is displayed in the vehicle, clearly showing the expiry date of the badge.

Regardless of the availability of disabled parking bays, disabled drivers are not permitted to park on double yellow lines in car parks.

Details of how to obtain a blue disabled parking badges and other information on residents permits/controlled parking zones can be found on the Nottinghamshire County Council website. If you use a car park not operated by the council, please check what charges apply for disabled motorists.

Car park security

We aim to make our car parks safe and secure. Our car park at Tolney Lane has Secured Car Park status and car parks at Appletongate and the Livestock Market in Newark and Church Street in Southwell, have been awarded the Park Mark 'Safer Parking Award’. CCTV cameras cover most of our car parks and our car park staff carry out routine patrols around the car parks.

If you notice a light out in any car parks, please contact us.
