Not where I wanted to park.There are a lot cheaper car parks in Manchester than that. And there are a couple more shops than in Stafford
But all those are only half an hour stay aren't they? What if you need to stay longer? Do you move your car around?Alms Houses

I think The Island is still two hours and White Lion Street one hour. Worth checking, though. I've always thought the difference was a bit sneaky and probably leads to a few mistaken overstays in White Lion Street.But all those are only half an hour stay aren't they? What if you need to stay longer? Do you move your car around?
SignedThe North Walls shops have a petition up to appeal to LXB to open the car park - https://www.change.org/p/lxb-retail...uin-by-calling-for-kingsmead-car-park-to-open
I use the side area at Lidl - a bit less likely to get nudged, only a hundred yards further to walk and you can park in the shade in the summer.Wickes car park usually does it for me, two hours is plenty of time to get round Stafford unless accompanied by Mrs T.
Used the Primark lay by for most of an afternoon a couple of weeks ago.

You can sneak through the railings to get to Lidl's door without going all round on the ramp.
I hope it isn't totally destroyed by the WAR.
I would struggle to fill two hours in town - even including a Chainsburger stop....

Bean EnCounter says -It appears that there is going to be some sort of temporary permit parking scheme for more, and longer, on-street parking in North Walls and Salter Street - with permits administered by the shops.
It does have the potential for some chaos, I suspect.....
Bean EnCounter says -
Free Parking 2 hours MAX!
Working with the county council, we are launching a new parking scheme to help the local businesses in the North Walls area, while the Kingsmead parking lot is closed.
The county council created 37 parking spaces around the area, which includes the taxi rank and double yellow lines on Salter Street, loading bays and the 30 minute parking spaces across from the SDVS centre on North Walls. There is an actual map of these spaces, but no signage on the street.
What you need to do is get a parking permit from 1 Stop Supermarket, Malt Mill Lane. Bean enCounter has a few as well. Sign in and either provide ID or a £10 deposit. Be sure to place them on your dashboard and return the permit within 2 hours.
The permits will be available from 12 today.
This scheme is running until January 16th, 2016.
Any questions, please feel free to ask.

I wonder if anybody will get done whilst they are returning the permit?
The owner of Bean Encounter is American is he not so I think he should be forgiven!
