Coopers Way Car Park

ahh so good

This car park is perfectly acceptable, decent sized spaces, everything is marked out and the surface is fine... however it’s now charging for any time period. This hasn’t improved anything, the spaces are the same, the tarmac surface hasn’t been changed, and when your car gets pranged you still probably won’t get notified with insurance details or an apology . I’ve once seen a parking attendant, and he was only checking the machine as the umpteenth person complained it doesn’t accept cash, and cards seem to be intermittent at best... there is an app, however this only adds to the time you have to be there, and if it’s only a quick nip into Budgens, it’s inevitably longer than your visit into town. HDC why don’t you make it free for 1/2 hour, or 1 hour and then charge? Seems there is no benefit to most users and just means it’s harder to get out of the car park when you leave as quite a few people now just park on the high-street, shortening drivers visibility.

Handy little carpark but downside is at top of a hill. Have to walk down to shops. Not great for disabled

A handy car park when visiting the local shops. It cost us £2.10 for up to 4 hours
