Free two-hour parking for ALDI shoppers with EV charging
This private tarmac car park serves the ALDI supermarket and adjacent retail units. It offers around 80 marked bays, including four Blue Badge spaces near the store entrance, six parent-and-child bays, and two motorcycle bays. Parking is free for up to two hours, enforced by ANPR cameras; a £2.00 per hour fee applies thereafter, payable at in-store kiosks. LED floodlights provide full illumination until closing, and CCTV cameras monitor all parking aisles. Pedestrian exits lead directly to the ALDI entrance (0.02 km), the adjacent Lidl store (0.05 km), and bus stops on Watkin Way (0.1 km). Two 22 kW EV fast chargers are available at no charge for in-store customers, billed by membership or QR code. Seasonal holiday shopping periods reduce available bays by 15; signage directs drivers to the Watkin Way overflow lay-by (0.3 km). Weekly maintenance includes line repainting and pothole repairs.
