Parking has been banned on Kirkham’s Market Square. Lancashire County Council has introduced the restriction following the recent multi-million pound revamp of the town centre.
All on-street and off-street parking in Kirkham is free and County Hall says there are “ample” alternatives to Market Square – including the car parks at Eagles Court and Mill Street and the kerbside spaces along Church Street and Poulton Street.The ban – in the form of a "prohibition of driving" – excludes those vehicles needing access for the market and any events being staged.
Kirkham’s off-street car parks are operated by the town council, which has kept those facilities free as well.
