Local car park, route and access details
Church Square has 138 spaces and Gospel Lane has 48; both are free. Bridge Street East (Gospel Lane) has 66 spaces and a paid TS3 tariff, while Commercial Road and Downshire Place use paid TL4 tariffs. This means Gospel Lane and Bridge Street East should not be treated as interchangeable just because their names appear together on the council list.
What to check before travelling
Choose parking according to the part of Banbridge you intend to visit and the availability of suitable bays. Confirm the exact car park sign before leaving the vehicle. The council publishes parking tariff codes separately, so check the current amount rather than assuming every paid Banbridge facility costs the same.
