Vale of White Horse District Council

Car parks in Faringdon

The Council owns two car parks in Faringdon, on Southampton Street and Gloucester Street, both of which give easy access to the town centre's shops and services.

Both car parks are operational Monday to Saturday 8am until 6.30pm, including bank holidays. The car parks are free from 6.30pm through until 8am Monday to Saturday and all day Sundays.

Disabled badge holders can park free of charge, providing they display their badge correctly.

Details of charges can be found below the map.

Buy Back in Faringdon

Twenty-five of the town’s independent traders in The Faringdon Retail Group have pooled resources to launch the new “Buy Back” parking ticket refund, whereby anyone who spends £5 or more at participating stores will have the first hour of their parking ticket refunded.  It is hoped this will encourage more visitors to the town centre shops. 

The scheme is in operation at Southampton Street Car Park and Gloucester Street.

Under BuyBack residents are required to buy a parking ticket from the machines, display it in their car window, and when they take a receipt to a participating shop they will be refunded the first hour of parking charge on purchasing £5 worth of goods.

The scheme is being paid for by the independent traders themselves who will foot the bill for all refunds claimed.  BuyBack is supported by the Council.
