Car Parking in Council-run car parks in Morpeth and elsewhere in Northumberland is FREE

However there are time controls on the car parks – some are designated for up to three hours (with no return within four hours) and some are designated as all day car parks. There are also limited 30 minute on-street car parking bays.

These time controls are managed with a simple parking disk system. Any standard clock-dial parking disks from anywhere in the country are valid for use.

Where to buy a parking disk

Disks are available at a cost of £1 from parking meters, the Library, and a limited number of town shops displaying a poster.
