NCP Car Park Cheltenham Portland Gates

Parking bays are too narrow even for a vw golf. Door dent was an unwelcome surprise on my return to the car.

Plenty of room and close to shops, very convenient but you have to pay.

It's okay. The surface is degraded with a fair amount of badly repaired potholes, but at least repairs are being attempted as and when the potholes appear. The costs are reasonable for a large town location, near to the shopping centre, but the printed instructions, over the payment machines, don't correspond to the actual machine hardware (I know of one example where an elderly lady was fined because she was confused and didn't use the payment machine correctly). The spaces are small, both in width and in length, so it is worth trying to find a space with empty bays nearby (although we all know what happens then ;) ).
It is okay and I'm sure more permanent repairs are planned, although these will be expensive and inconvenient. Although it isn't perfect I'm happy to continue using this car park.

Twice I've received parking tickets for using this car park. 1st time I paid for the entire day and had to go through the hassle of appealing. No explanation as to how the ticket wss issued. 2nd ticket for parking slightly outside the lines. Appealed on the basis that the car park is full of pot holes, lines all faded, parking in the dark and the car not obstructing any vehicles (car park was half empty) but the ticket stood. Have never used the service since and instead make use of free parking on the edge of town which is only a 5 minute walk away. I only used the car park for the £5.50 early bird ticket, but have decided the free parking is much more convenient and better for your health with a nice morning walk :)

Was able to park our Motorhome here as no height restriction. Paid for two spaces to be on safe side. A bit expensive but very few parking places without height restrictions. £7 for 3 hours.

Inconvenient payment by phone. Also ended up getting fined after getting back to my car within the ticketed period, but the 10 minute period between getting in my car and actually leaving the car park apparently mean I was slapped with a fee weeks later. Appealed to no avail. They have cameras timing your stay by entry and exit, NOT from when you get the ticket and return to your car.

Despite a picture of a wallet and coins does not take cash. can only pay by card. Have to pay up front but has cameras to see how long there so why not pay for time used in exit? Because they are grabbing your money as much as they possibly can. Use the one directly opposite unless it's full

One card machine didn't work, the other had the screen defaced on the card reader so you couldn't read the instructions. Big potholes. On the plus side it only costs £1.50 for a short stay.
