Parksy parking beside Oundle town centre when council spaces are full
Parksy lists Secure Stashbee Parking in Oundle at £71 a month and 0 yd. Its listing places the space in Oundle and gives a monthly price, so it is a direct paid option for a driver who wants a longer-term parking arrangement rather than relying on a short-stay bay.
Parksy also lists Affordable Stashbee Parking in Northamptonshire at £76 a month and 2.8 mi. The listing gives the space’s distance and monthly price, while the title places it in Northamptonshire rather than naming an Oundle street. Drivers comparing paid spaces can also see Convenient Parking at Orton Meadows, Peterborough at £2.30 an hour and Affordable Thorpe Wood Car Park in Peterborough at £2.20 an hour, both listed 8.8 mi and 9.5 mi away respectively. These options are priced alternatives to compare when Oundle parking is unavailable.

Oundle bay limits, proposed changes and who controls each road
Oundle Town Council says parking outside its control is monitored and managed by North Northamptonshire Council. The council’s 2026 parking article says the five spaces immediately outside Tesco in the town centre presently have a two-hour limit. The article describes a proposed reduction for those five spaces to 30 minutes, but presents that reduction as a request for consideration rather than an implemented rule (oundle.gov.uk).
The same Oundle Town Council article says the spaces on the south side of Milton Road presently carry timings left from when Oundle Primary School was on Milton Road. The council proposes a two-to-four-hour limit there, depending on what North Northamptonshire Council will consider. The article says proposed parking changes must pass North Northamptonshire Council’s annual review process and then have a Traffic Regulation Order published, with the review process taking 18-24 months (oundle.gov.uk).
Oundle parking penalties and payment details shown by the local authority
North Northamptonshire Council monitors and manages parking outside Oundle Town Council’s control, while Oundle Town Council is responsible for the long-stay car park outside the Drill Hall on Benefield Road. Oundle Town Council also states that the Co-op manages the St Osyths Lane short-stay car park because the Co-op leases it from the town council (oundle.gov.uk).
The Oundle Town Council parking information gives the Co-op store telephone number, 01832 275444, for reporting issues with the St Osyths Lane car park or speaking to the store manager.
