Courthouse had an attendant on the entrance last few weeks asking if you were short or long stay and directing you as such. Seemed to work ok but not sure how many spaces as it was quite busy later on
For those who can be arsed to read. Changes to parking in the town centre due to closure of multi-storey car park 11 July 2018 The multi-storey car park will close on Sunday 29 July to allow preparatory work to begin so that it can be demolished. The car park is being demolished in early 2019 to facilitate the next phase of the £130m town centre redevelopment and these changes will remain in place until a new, modern multi-storey car park opens as part of The Glass Works. Details of the changes are outlined below: More free weekend parking in the town centre this August More free Saturday parking will be added in the town centre from Saturday 4 August, with free weekend parking being made available at 11 additional sites across the town centre - limiting the impact of the closure of the multi-storey car park. Free weekend parking from Saturday 4 August Our aim is to provide sufficient, safe parking and to maintain footfall during the redevelopment. In addition to the 11 extra sites, changes are being introduced to create short stay and long stay parking and weekend parking will remain free for everyone. The changes will prioritise the most convenient spaces for shoppers and visitors and make sure there are enough spaces available for town centre workers, market traders, football fans and anyone else who needs to stay longer. Short stay The closest spaces to the shops will be limited to three hours free parking with no option to extend the stay – this is to make sure that the most convenient spaces are available for shoppers when they need them and encourage those that need to stay longer to use previously underutilised car parks. To park in a short stay car park you must obtain a free ticket from the ticket machine and display it clearly in your car, this is to that make sure users keep to the three-hour limit. Long stay Spaces a little further away will be free to use all day. As before, a yellow bag will be placed over the machine to let people know that they can park for free all day. The maximum stay of 24 hours will remain in place. Courthouse car park As the Courthouse car park is so big it will include both long and short stay spaces. Don’t worry though, the short stay spaces will be clearly signposted, while short stay car parking spaces in the lower car park will be marked in red. Parking is free at the weekend but during the week we offer a number of ways to pay for parking. If you don’t have cash don’t worry, as a number of our machines offer a chip and pin service and you can also use Ringo to pay by phone or the app. Please check signs and machines for the available options.

That would be the same article that states 'a major stipulation is that car parking will have to be replaced'? My reading is therefore 800 parking places would not be lost, they'd be moved elsewhere.
Assumed as much, normally get a lift in from the Mrs. The closest we tend to get to shopping in Barnsley is parking in Morrison's and walking down to collect something from next then back out.
