Free parking in Chester?

Google "Whipcord Lane", it's a quiet street near the city centre. It offers free, on-street parking during the day, with easy access to the city centre via the canal footpaths / city walls.
You will be lucky to find a space on Whipcord Lane unless you arrive before 7.30/8.00am!Somnophore said:
West Street just off Hoole lane usually has a couple of parking spaces as it's students down there in a couple of houses, so they don't all have cars. It's 5 min walk from the centre.
What you doing in Chester? That's where I am from.
Xmas shopping, i'm from Nantwich. Chester is about the same distance for me as Hanley, and i know where i'd rather spend time!What you doing in Chester? That's where I am from.

Does anyone know where i can park for free in Chester? I know there's a tesco in the centre with a car park, don't mind spending a fiver in tesco if it means the car park is sorted?
Wifey tells me 2hrs free if you spend £10, 3hrs free for £25. After that it's £1.50hr.From Nantwich, Park & Ride at Boughton would normally be a good option but will even busier than normal at this time of year and could well be full if you're not there pretty early.
There's a newish car park on the site of the old stables on the corner of St Martins Way and Watergate Street (have a look on Google Earth) and I *think* that's a fiver a day. If that fails you can park on the Racecourse itself.
ETA: Think Northgate Arena mentioned above is a fiver and that's often full during the week.

Thanks, shouldn't need more than 2 hours. Just need to go into about 4 or 5 shops. However the all day parking for £3 at Northgate Arena seems tempting if i think i'll be longer.From Nantwich, Park & Ride at Broughton would normally be a good option but will even busier than normal at this time of year and could well be full if you're not there pretty early.

Tesco should work then. Mrs DL says don't bother getting there after 10AM.
Be aware the new traffic lights at the A51/A55/M53 roundabout have made the morning rush hour traffic even worse and the even if you cut through the lanes to the A41, the junction at Caldy Valley (where Chester Sainsbury's is) has been completely messed up too.

The big one. I'm just the messenger, but until a few weeks ago, the missus used to work in the middle of Chester, and goes shopping / lunching there at least a couple of days per week. However she (like most women) thinks this kind of question is bizzare - things cost whatever they cost, if it was tenner she'd just pay it without a second thought.

Apparently the parking attendants at Tesco are pretty lenient on time-keeping if you smile at them!
Assuming they are male and are lenient if a female smiles at them? I'm powefully built, but i haven't got any tits!Apparently the parking attendants at Tesco are pretty lenient on time-keeping if you smile at them!
