Garbage. Coin only payment that won’t give you any change. or have to use an app that requires lots of form filling and takes time. Not an easy to use.

This one is again not very well sign posted. Parking attendant directed me to it from Carter Street. This one is i think 4 hour stay. Building work at one end meant i couldn't walk the way i needed to get to my destination as quickly as i should have and had to go a whole heap longer way round, plus having had to move from Carter Street Car Park. So now i was even further away from my destination. I can't walk far and this added to my pain. I'm almost sure for anyone paying that i used Ringgo in Rishworth Street, but this one and Granary were a different company. These car parks all seem to be in tatty back streets that just seem like an afterthought for a car park. More like "oh look, a bit of land, let's shove a car park on it" Much as i'm grateful for the car parks, dotted here and there, they could be made a bit more user friendly, safer feeling etc. I felt like i'd been chucked out of a club into the car park out the back door, at closing time at 6am or something. Both Granary and Carter Street Car Parks felt like this, but Rishworth Street Car Park was the only one that was nice and open.

It's a car park, that's fine. But it's probably one of the worst car parks I've ever used in my driving life. There's not much space to pull forward and reverse into a bay comfortably. If you haven't found a space you've gotta spin round and come out the same way you entered. The parking rates are real high for a town popular for smackheads.
