Free daytime parking in Uttoxeter town square
Carters Square is a free public square-style parking facility located in the heart of Uttoxeter town centre. The cobblestone lot provides 50 unmarked bays arranged around a landscaped central island. Open 8 am8 pm daily; no pay-and-display is enforced, but vehicles must vacate by closing time. No lighting or CCTV is present, so only daytime use is advised. The square is flanked by historic buildings, cafés, and boutiques; pedestrian crossings connect to Carter Street shops (0.02 km). A wooden kiosk at the center displays town maps, local event schedules, and pedestrianized zone timings. Seasonal artisan markets occupy the central island on Sundays between April and October, reducing capacity by 30 spaces; temporary bollards direct drivers away. Monthly maintenance includes litter clearance and minor repairs to the cobblestone surface.
