DT4 8BY ---- HOW TO GET THERE ---- PARKING

PARKING
Parking in Weymouth during the summer is not easy and the Flats do not have any private off street parking.

However with forward planning this need not be a problem. All of the free street parking spaces have now been incorporated into a Town Centre parking scheme - which is a combination of paid permits, pay and display, and short ( 1 hour) free spaces.

A Shoppers short-stay car park is opposite the Flats for arrival. Disabled Badge holders have some free hours concessions,
but DO NOT have unlimited free parking now.

Please read the following list and choose the one that suits you best.
