Reserved bay

Overview

Where available, reserved bays are an excellent choice for people who require the exclusive use of a bay, and in addition offer a considerable saving. It should be remembered that purchasing a Pay and Display ticket, Residents,Business, Season or Tourist  permit does not allow you to park in a Numbered Reserved Bay at any time.

Please be aware that reserved bays will be allocated to residents as a point of priority over businesses or holiday homes / lets. You will be required to provide proof of residence when applying.

We only offer reserved bays in the following car parks:

• Appledore: Odun Road, West Appledore
• Bideford: Honestone Street, Riverbank Short Stay, Willett Street
• Northam: Windmill Lane, Bone Hill

If you would like to enquire about a reserved bay please email us at carparks@torridge.gov.uk or phone Car Parks on 01237 428981.

If a bay is not available at your desired location when you enquire, we will be happy to place your details on the waiting list.

Please ensure the active vehicle is set correctly via your online account before leaving it in a car park. (This is a digital equivalent of moving a physical permit from one vehicle to another.)
