Cheltenham Open Data Adds a Car Parks Page
Public car parks near Cheltenham, mapped with fees, charging hours, capacity and max stay where recorded.
Cheltenham Open Data has published a new car parks page, covering public car parks in and around the town.
The page maps 26 car parks, from Cheltenham Borough Council’s town centre pay car parks to the Arle Court Park & Ride and a scattering of free car parks further out, sourced from OpenStreetMap. A sortable table sits alongside the map showing operator, capacity, fee, charging hours and max stay where OpenStreetMap has that recorded.
FAQs
What Does the Car Parks Page Show?
- A map and sortable table of public car parks near Cheltenham, with operator, number of spaces, whether a fee applies, charging hours and max stay where recorded.
Where Does the Data Come From?
- OpenStreetMap, via the Overpass API, filtered to car parks that are genuinely open to the public rather than private, customer-only or residents’ parking. Released under the Open Database Licence (ODbL).
Why Do Some Car Parks Have Missing Details?
- OpenStreetMap’s data is only as complete as what’s been mapped for each car park — some have full details, others just a name and location. Always check the signage on arrival, especially for max stay.
How Often Is It Updated?
- Monthly, since car park locations, fees and hours rarely change. The “last updated” date is at the bottom of the page.
