“Back in March, Leeds was one of the first council’s to introduce free parking in a bid to ease some of the pressure on those still going to work during the pandemic. In July, the council reinstated parking charges with some temporary changes in place including free parking on evenings and weekends and a discounted rate for those who paid with the ParkMobile app in the city centre.

"After reviewing these changes we have decided that to help manage demand and usage, now is the right time to go back to the council’s pre-lockdown charges. This includes reinstating weekend and evening charges and ending the ParkMobile discount. These changes will apply from Tuesday 1st September.”

How much does Leeds city centre parking cost?

If you park in the city centre and pay using the Parkmobile app, you will pay £1 per hour or £5 per day. If you pay at a machine you will pay the normal rates. Maximum stay times still apply, check the signs when you park.

On street and car park parking charges vary, but can cost up to £8 per day for Hunslet Lane Car Park and £7.50 for five hours at Park Square West.

Evenings (after 6pm) are still free.
