Parking charges

All Tamworth Borough Council owned car parks are operational 24 hours per day. The chargeable period is between 8am and 6pm, Monday to Sunday. Motorcycles and disabled parking with blue badge is free.

Please note that Church Street car park is currently closed due to a dangerous wall.

Discounted parking permits are also available for businesses and residents who park in the town centre regularly. You can find out more on our parking permits page.

PayByPhone app
As well as paying at the machines in the car parks, you can now pay via the PayByPhone app. Available to download on the app store or the Google Play store.

No Smartphone, no problem! You can either call 0330 400 7275 and follow the instructions or visit the website: www.paybyphone.co.uk 

Beware of QR Code Scams!
All Tamworth Borough Council parking machines and the PayByPhone service do NOT use QR codes. If you see any QR codes on parking signs or machines, DO NOT SCAN THEM.

We have three types of car parks: short stay, short and long stay and long stay. 
Blue badge holders can pay at any of the council car parks for free, and do not need to be in a specified disabled car parking space. 
For the 30 minutes free parking, a ticket must still be obtained and displayed, either via the PayByPhone app or from the machine.
