Macclesfield car parking charges

On Monday, 2 December 2024, new changes will go live Cheshire East controlled car parks. 

• Parking charges will come into effect at most of our car parks where parking is currently free. 
• Most car parks will become ‘cash-free’, meaning payment will be by debit or credit card at pay and display machines, or via the RingGo app. But, at least one car park in every town will continue to accept cash payments. 
• The residents off-street parking permit scheme has been extended to cover more areas.
