Free daytime parking in Cheadle town centre
Tape Street Car Park is a free council-operated surface lot located on Tape Street, serving Cheadle town centre. The gravel-and-asphalt site offers 60 marked bays, including two Blue Badge bays. Open 7 am–7 pm daily; no pay-and-display is enforced, but overnight parking is not permitted. No lighting or CCTV is provided, so day-only use is advised. A wooden information board displays Cheadle town map and local attractions. Pedestrian access leads to Cheadle Civic Hall (0.1 km), the Cheadle Library (0.2 km), and nearby shops. Seasonal community events occasionally close off half the lot; signage alerts drivers. The council conducts biannual maintenance, including pothole repairs and bay repainting.
