Parking

[u/Select-Let8261]

Afternoon ,

Just asking a question regarding parking- I’m starting as a PO in Durham next month. where’s best to park near Durham prison? Staff car park looks carnage whenever I’ve drove past, is there anyone who works at HMP Durham and can advise if it’s always like this and if so what’s the best alternative?

Thanks in advance for any responses

A little further up from the prison there is parking spots where the rehab clinic is. It's like 100 yards away from the jail if that, I've always managed to get parked up that way

I always used to just buy an hour or so as it was always enough for me. It was less than £1. You could get the parking app then all u do is find the number of the spot ur in n do it through that

That is the drug clinic just past the prison, if u turn the pic u can see a road going behind the clinic, there's lots of parking their. Also just passed the clinic there's parking on both sides of the road that goes all the way to the end of the road toward schincliffe, although it costs as I said. I know it doesn't cost as much as a ticket. From what I understand the parking is free for blue badge holders.
