Parking in North Kesteven

North Kesteven District Council operates several car parks within the town of Sleaford. There are both long stay and short stay car parks for those who work in the town and also those who visit the town to shop. 

All car parks that are run by North Kesteven District Council have a fee payable between 08.00 - 18.00. Outside of these hours, you can park in these car parks free of charge. 

In every car park, provision is made for Disabled Badge Holders who may park free of charge but who must display their blue badge and are asked wherever possible to use the designated bays.

The locations of each of the car parks below are given in the what3words format.

There are currently no EV charging points in any of the Council car parks.

Payment for parking is at the car park machines at each site. The machines offer a cash and cashless payment option however, it is important to remind users of the car park that payment must be made by either option before leaving their vehicle.
