Why were these car parks selected?
These car parks can be very busy. We want to make the spaces closer to the town centre more accessible for shoppers and visitors making a quick visit to town.
How will this be monitored?
We will carry out parking surveys to gather information about:
- length of stay
- occupancy of spaces
- the number of vehicles exceeding the 3 hour limit
What happens if the short stay parking time limit is exceeded?
The following may happen should someone exceed the 3 hour limit:
- they may receive a reminder notice on their vehicle, or a letter, explaining that they have parked in a short stay car park longer than expected
- North Ayrshire Council may introduce Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras to monitor and gather data on those continually exceeding the 3 hour limit
- North Ayrshire Council may consider an amendment to the car park Controlling Regulation Order to enable enforcement and subsequently the issuing of Penalty Charge Notices.

Blue Badge holders with a suitable vehicle registered at a home address, may be eligible for a disabled resident's parking bay.
