Village parking for Prees parish church and shops
7 Church Street Parking is a free council-operated tarmac lot situated on Church Street in Prees village centre, serving local shops and the parish church. The facility provides 30 marked bays, including two Blue Badge spaces near the church entrance and one motorcycle bay. It operates 7 am to 8 pm daily; no overnight parking. LED bollard lighting offers illumination until dusk, and there is no CCTV coverage. A noticeboard at the entrance displays local village notices and footpath maps to Hulme Common (2 km) and nearby canal towpaths. Pedestrian exits lead directly to St. Peters Church (0.05 km), the village shop (0.1 km), and bus stops. No EV charging is provided. Seasonal church fete days reduce capacity by 10; signage directs drivers to alternative parking at the village hall (0.3 km). Maintenance crews clear litter weekly and repaint bay lines annually.
