Moving to MK- parking
Posted by Agile-Lengthiness-75@reddit | miltonkeynes | View on Reddit | 9 comments
Hi all,
I’m moving to MK in November. I’m seeking some helpful advice on parking.
Unfortunately the apartment complex offers expensive underground parking for £75-100 per month. I was made aware that I could get a parking permit for £25 annually through the council due to the apartments location being in Central MK.
Just wanted to know if the process is simple to apply and if this permit allows you to park anywhere else within Central MK such as the shopping mall Centre MK?
Lastly, where are the best/most affordable places to park around MK Central station on a weekday or a weekend?

If you can afford to own a car then you should be able to afford the underground parking

Foolish comment 😂

The R1 permit is good for North Row and South Row, plus a few other spaces dotted around. So you can park reasonably close to the shopping centre or train station with the permit. Just make sure the sign says R1.
The application is fairly simple, I think you need to upload proof of address and possibly car log book.

Costs around 30 quid for R1 parking permit which is in the centre , simple process completed online in which you give a few documents vc5 etc.
Station parkings on the weekend can park behind or by the old bus station it's like 5 quid for the day on weekends, weekdays is I believe 10 quid unless you park behind Silbury on the residents parking if you have a permit and walk around 10 Min to the station

You might be best off going to the council's own guidance as a start
