Marine Road No 1 and No 2  (opposite Yorkshire Bank and Nat West Bank) - 2 hour time limit.
Marketgate, Lancaster  - no exemption
On-street parking (administered by County Council) is not well advertised eg. Lancaster City Council website maps only show pay and display. Leaflet for disabled persons shows on-street designated disabled spaces but not standard spaces.
Many offer free Christmas parking (late night shopping (Thursday) and Sundays). Most on-street spaces are free at night or on Sundays
