Directions

In the heart of Durham City oat the northern entrance to Durham's Market Place. Please note the Durham Peninsula charging zone:

The zone is on the Durham City peninsula, near Durham Cathedral and Castle, Durham Market Place, Durham Chorister School, Durham University colleges and a variety of shops and businesses.

The zone helps to reduce traffic congestion and pollution, and improves air quality in the area. It is also encourages out-of-hours use of the area, creating safer and more attractive streets for everyone.

Using the zone:

An Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system at the junction of Saddler Street and Claypath, on the Market Square, records any vehicles entering or leaving the zone. In 2022 there is a daily charge of £2 for entering the zone between 10.00am and 4.00pm, Monday to Saturday. There is no charge on Sundays or bank holidays.

Please see https://www.durham.gov.uk/article/3437/Durham-Peninsula-charging-zone

Automatic exemptions:  Vehicles that are automatically exempt from the charge include: two wheeled motorbikes (and sidecars), mopeds and bicycles, powered wheelchairs or scooters used by a disabled person. 

Blue badge holders may register up to two vehicles that they normally use to travel. This could be their vehicle, or one they travel in. Registered vehicles will be recognised by the ANPR system as being exempt from the charge. These vehicles will remain registered until expiry of the blue badge. It will be necessary to re-register upon receipt of the new Blue Badge.

Applicants must provide a completed application form along with a copy of a valid blue badge.
