Parking
The toll operates from 10.00am to 4.00pm Monday to Saturday (excluding bank holidays), using an Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system located at the junction of Saddler Street and Claypath. The ANPR system identifies motor vehicles subject to the charge.
The daily charge is £2.00, payable when using the road between 10.00am and 4.00pm. All vehicles that enter or exit the clearly defined zone during its hours of operation must pay the charge unless they qualify for an exemption.
However, you must remember to pay the charge in advance or by 6.00pm on the day the road is used. If you don't pay the charge by 6.00pm on the day the road is used, this may result in a £50.00 penalty charge notice becoming payable by the registered keeper of the vehicle.
