MCP Car Park - Lowther Street

Typical town/city centre car park. A bit tight bit manageable. Allows access directly into main shopping parts of Carlisle,

Left my car in this car park on the 21st of June 2023. Left for 3 hours and returned to significant damage by someone with a key. This is on a school route. Theres no way to contact the owners to see if theres CCTV.

Close to the city centre and not so expensive. Open 24/7.

Not much to say about a carpark - the location was good, close to shopping centre and not too far from the cathedral. I have a blue badge and couldn't find any disabled spots - not sure if there were any. No concessions on prices, but not too expensive. Not a bad place to park all round, but finding the exit was a little confusing and a lot of people drove the wrong way out.

Cheap tariffs but it wasn’t until we paid for six hours, was told by Carlisle shopmobility that for the first three hours we could park for free with our Blue Badge clock. There are no signs at all that say that in the car park. Use your council budget and have this done please. No ramps either just a little step my fiancé, whom has mobility issues, struggled to step over. Will never ever park here again. Carlisle doesn’t give a stuff about disabled people, not in this car park anyway.Thank you for your reply, I apologise I put a council owned car park, but it’s still disgraceful you don’t offer discounts for Blue Badge Holders.

Extensive parking area ...access to all important places...shops, restaurants,hotels, town centre, tourist attractions, bus stops all are at walkable distance... safe parking space available at any time...

Parked in Lowther Street Car Park 30/01/2022 and paid £2 to park between 12:50 -14-50. Today 07/02/2022 I received a parking fine detailing that we arrived at 12:44 and left at 13:53. Could it please be explained as to how this fine has occurred given that I still had almost 1 hour spare on my ticket. Feeling very frustrated and annoyed as this is my second dealing with this company which once again has to be dealt with, needless to say that I shall no longer park here cheaper tariff or not.

Always found plenty of room to park quite ample spaces and only £1.00 an hour very reasonably priced.

AVOID AT ALL COST!!Ticket machine didn’t register my car and had to pay for a parking ticket when I was only there for 30 mins and I paid for 1-2 hours!!!

Although this Carpark has plenty of spaces nearby to the shopping centre and has cctv, I did notice from reading the notice up at the front end that the payment is still necessary for disabled people to park unlike the other Carpark on the corner where I have parked before with my blue badge.This wasn't a problem as it was still fairly affordable for the 3hrs we needed and I will give it 5stars because it was very clean but just one problem that I have to mention is the opening for the Carpark on foot is not wheelchair friendly as it does have a step, I had to get out until my son manoeuvred it down safely before I sat back in, I own a electric wheelchair and on my return I went in the same way that all cars etc do and travelled all the way around towards the back to reach my car that I had to park at a spot I could open my door wider to get in and out because there was no disabled parking spaces left.Lessons learnt from that day that it's not the best place for me but would be fine for anyone who doesn't have the problems I have.
