Bristol has been ranked fourteenth in a list of top UK cities for finding free parking in the city centre. Research by CarFinance 247 revealed the ten best and ten worst places to avoid paying for parking, with Bristol falling just outside these shortlists.
Using data from freeparkingspots.co.uk, the car finance experts analysed forty of the most popular urban travel destinations to find out which offered the greatest number of free city centre parking spaces, as well as which offered the least.
The survey claimed that there are five streets in central Bristol where drivers can park for free – Cromwell Road, Oxford Place, Barton Manor, Richmond Street and Gladstone Street – putting it close to the middle of the pack. Cities beating Bristol included Huddersfield in first place, Warwick in second and Southampton in third.
