Visitors
Private off-street parking
Did you know about 70 per cent of parking spaces in Cleveland are privately owned and managed? These spaces are available for businesses, their customers and staff. Most spaces are at the rear of the premises.
If you have an appointment with a Cleveland business, why not ask if they have off-street parking available for visitors?
Workers
All-day parking and 12-hour parking
If you work locally and don't have off-street parking, try finding parking a couple of blocks from the centre of Cleveland on Russell, Queen, Homer or Wynyard Streets.
There are generally spaces available in these locations, and by parking there you are freeing up spaces for customers and visitors for local businesses.
By parking a couple of blocks away, you'll only have a short five-minute walk to Cleveland's centre which could increase your daily step count.

Working remotely
If you have a job that allows you to work remotely, consider asking your employer whether you can work from home one day or more a week.
