    Is there anywhere free to park in Bray midweek near the civic offices, or if not, where is the nearest place, and I will get there early and walk?

    Best advice I can offer is Park in Lidl at the bottom of the town and walk up. Takes about 10 minutes.

    Otherwise you will have to pay.

    Down at garda station is free.

    Along the dargle at Dublin side is free.

    Sidmonton Road would be closer...

    But to be honest, just park in the Florentine car park - it's cheap as chips and just down from the Civic Offices

    You could park in tesco vevay road and walk down

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    If you're doing that on a regular basis rather than a one off, be aware that you do of course run the risk of being clamped, it being a private car park for Lidl's customers. Ditto for Tesco or any other private car park.

    Not true about Lidl at all. No signs there at all.

    Odd. I don't use the Bray Lidl, but there certainly are in the Greystones one, so I assumed there would be in the Bray branch. I personally wouldn't park there either way.

    Are there signs in Tesco to say you will be clamped?

    I have parked there loads of times and never had an issue. It's not checked at all. Lidl have enough issues staffing their tills let alone having somebody check the car park. Remember as well that Lidl Greystones shares car park with other stores so it's run differently.

    There are definitely no signs and cars are never ever clamped there. I would not be surprised if that changes though.

    Well there was a Euro Car Pars sign on the left side of the entrance stating a maximum of 3 hour parking but not sure if still there as I don't go to Tesco that often.

    Anybody know if there is free parking near the DART station? If not, how much does it cost for Mon-Fri? Same question for Shankill DART station?

    Shankill you could park up around shankill Garza station, bray is similar if up at garda station parking is free any closer its all pay parking.

    So park in one of the estates around the Garda Station in Bray (and Shank)?

    Is the Seafront all pay parking?
