Q. I have a valid Blue Badge. Where can I park and for how long?
A. If you have a valid Blue Badge you may park in any car park regulated by Daventry District Council, in any bay, and you are exempt from time restrictions. You must, however, abide by all other regulations including the requirement to park fully within a marked bay and you must display your Blue Badge clearly. The parking attendants will issue an Excess Charge Notice (parking ticket) if your Badge is not clearly visible when they stand to the front of your vehicle. Please refer to the car parksigns.
Q. I am currently on holiday in the UK and have a valid disabled person’s badge/certificate from my own country. Is it valid in Daventry?
A. A ‘disabled person’s badge’ or equivalent is acceptable in Daventry’s public car parks only if it has been issued by a local authority within the United Kingdom or a member state of the European Union. If you are from any other country, please phone us at Parking Services on (01327) 302 449, preferably prior to your arrival at Daventry.
Q. Do any exemptions apply to motorcycles, mopeds and scooters?
A. Motorcycles, mopeds, scooters, pedal cycles and the like are all currently exempt from the maximum periods of stay and return periods. However, when parking any of these vehicles it is important that they are positioned sensibly, with due regard to other car park users and within marked bays or designated spaces.
Q. I work in Daventry town centre and have difficulty finding a parking space close to where I work. Can I apply for a parking permit to allow me to park all day in a short stay car park?
A. For practical reasons parking permits cannot be issued for this reason.
Q. I notice all the short stay car park signs say “no return to this or any other Group 1 car park within 4 hours”; what does this mean?
A. This means that once you leave any short stay (Group 1) car park, irrespective of how long you parked there you may not return to that car park or any other short stay (Group 1) car park for at least 4 hours.
Q. I have a business in Daventry Town Centre and regularly need to leave and return to a Council car park to collect or deliver goods. Is there a permit available to prevent me from receiving parking tickets?

Q. I am a contractor working in Daventry town centre and it is important that I park all day in a short stay car park. Am I exempt from parking regulations?
