Are Antrim Street and Laganbank Road car parks in Lisburn free, and which council car parks are?
Antrim Street and Laganbank Road are not free council car parks. Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council lists both as chargeable, each with a normal rate of 70p per hour and a special £1-for-three-hours discount arrangement.
Local car park, route and access details
Antrim Street has 131 published spaces and Laganbank Road has 238. The council’s free off-street sites within Lisburn are Benson Street (52 spaces) and Quay Street (23 spaces). Those are the correct council facilities to consider if avoiding a standard off-street fee is your priority. Because a free car park can be smaller or further from your appointment, the best choice still depends on the exact destination.
What to check before travelling
The special £1 tariff has conditions: the council warns that putting more than £1 into a machine can trigger the normal hourly tariff. RingGo is available for council off-street parking, and you should follow its displayed payment rules rather than assuming the same machine discount applies in every circumstance.
