Supermarket parking with free first 90 min and accessible bays
Aldi Car Park in Mapperley is a private surfaced lot offering 100 bays for supermarket customers and adjacent retail units. Operating hours are 7 am11 pm daily; first 90 minutes free with in-store minimum £5 spend, thereafter a flat fee of £2 applies, payable via contactless card or Aldi app. Twelve accessible bays (3.6 m wide) are located within 10 m of the store entrance, featuring drop-kerb ramps and tactile paving. The tarmacadam surface was resurfaced in early 2024, with fresh thermoplastic bay markings applied mid-2024. Uniform LED column lighting on 8 m poles ensures bright illumination after dusk, supplemented by motion-activated bollard lights near the accessible bays. Six CCTV cameras with infrared capability maintain 24/7 surveillance, streaming live feeds to a remote security center. Perimeter hedgerow planting provides a natural screen from adjacent properties and aids water runoff management. Directional signage inside the lot guides drivers to the exit onto Woodborough Road. Monthly maintenance includes pay machine servicing, litter clearance, and drainage gully cleaning.
