Kirkintilloch parking rules for council sites and Blue Badge holders

This requirement belongs to the council’s pay-and-display car parks, including the named Kirkintilloch town-centre sites, rather than to a general rule for every street in Kirkintilloch.
East Dunbartonshire Council gives Blue Badge holders free parking in all council car parks, including locations where charges apply. The concession applies whether or not the vehicle is in a disabled bay, as long as a valid disabled badge is properly displayed. A Blue Badge holder does not need to obtain a pay-and-display ticket under the council’s published parking guidance.

Parksy also lists a Woodhall Clinic space in Cadder, 3.3 miles away, at £4.40 an hour, which is an hourly option for a visit where a town-centre space is unavailable.

Busy Kirkintilloch days and cheaper council parking choices
Free parking in Kirkintilloch is most vulnerable when several drivers arrive for town-centre visits at the same time. The council’s published list gives Barleybank, William Patrick Library, David Donnelly Place, High Street, Catherine Street, Rochdale Place, Peel Park, Shamrock Street, Freeland Place, Oxford Street and Southbank House as Kirkintilloch locations, so these are the named central sites to consider when one car park is full (East Dunbartonshire Council).
The council also says that fees have been waived at town centres during some major events in East Dunbartonshire. Drivers visiting Kirkintilloch for an event may therefore encounter a free period arranged for that event, while ordinary visits can use the council tariff as the lowest named paid alternative in the local evidence.
Kirkintilloch PCN costs after a parking overstay
East Dunbartonshire Council sets the parking Penalty Charge Notice at £100 for parking offences in Kirkintilloch and elsewhere in the authority area (East Dunbartonshire Council).

If the outstanding amount remains unpaid after 56 days and a Charge Certificate is issued, the amount due increases to £150. The council’s penalty information also says not to ignore a Parking Fine or PCN. These stages apply to the authority’s parking enforcement process, including offences connected with council parking in Kirkintilloch.
