Out & About
Free parking periods
Free after 6pm. Free on Sundays. Free first 30 minutes. Free council car parks. That's all this page holds — genuinely free periods and Blue Badge exemptions. No tariffs, no prices: this is a free-stuff app, not a parking app.
Check the signage — always
Community-sourced guidance, not official parking authority information. Parking rules change frequently and vary car park by car park — always check the signage on arrival. You are responsible for what you pay and where you park.
Parking rules are the most hyperlocal, fastest-changing data in the UK — a council can change them overnight with no notice. Never let this page be the reason you get a ticket. If the sign disagrees with us, the sign wins.
The log
3 entriesEverything below is community-sighted information — someone saw the signage on the date shown and told us. It is not official parking authority data, and nobody re-checks it for you. Every entry carries the date it was last seen, and anything nobody has confirmed for 18 months drops out of this list into the unconfirmed section at the bottom. If you park somewhere on this list, tap "Still free" — that's what keeps it honest for the next person.

This shows you the car park itself — name, photo, location, distance. It does not tell you whether it's free: Google doesn't hold reliable parking tariff data, which is exactly why the free-period information above is curated and community-submitted instead.
