Parking controls - keeping Renfrewshire's traffic moving
We create and manage traffic orders to keep our roads safe for everyone. These orders say where people can - and can't - park their vehicles. For example, we paint yellow lines and create loading areas for shops and commercial properties. While we create and manage the traffic orders, it's down to the police and traffic wardens to enforce them.
Parking space
The largest provision of off street car parking being in Paisley, then Johnstone, Renfrew and Bridge of Weir. In Paisley Town Centre a charge is made for parking in the main car parks, including Paisley Centre (520 spaces), Piazza (365 spaces) and Arnotts (266 spaces). Of the 2800 spaces available in Paisley, 230 are on street in the core Town Centre with an additional 550 spaces in the peripheral streets. Further free parking is available every evening, weekend and bank holiday at Renfrewshire Council HQ in Cotton Street, Paisley.
