Season tickets
Allerdale Borough Council operates a system whereby a motorist
may purchase a yearly season ticket for a specified
vehicle. There are 2 types of season tickets
available:
All Towns - This ticket will allow the
bearer to park in any Allerdale owned Long stay Car Park within the
borough.
Single Town - This ticket will allow the
owner to park in any Allerdale owned Long Stay Car Park within the
specified town.
Costs for these Season Permits can be obtained from the
annual 'fees and charges' leaflet produced by the council or
by clicking here.
Season tickets can be purchased in any of the Allerdale Borough Council Area Offices and are
valid from 1st January to 31st December in
the year they are purchased. People who wish to
purchase a season ticket after 30th June would receive a
50% reduction on the fee.
Season tickets are NOT valid on any Short Stay Car Park (where
maximum stay is 3 hours or less), on the Wigton Council Centre Car
Park, or on any private car park managed on behalf of the business
concerned by Allerdale Borough Council.
If you are unsure the Pay and display machine information
