📌 Expert Tips

• Early Bird Special: Arrive before 10 AM on Saturdays to snag a spot easily before the late-morning shopping rush

• Shop & Save Hack: Visiting Bromsgrove High Street? Park here for free and do your shopping; even if you’re mainly in town, making a small in-store purchase lets you validate your receipt and avoid any parking fees

• Receipt Ready: Keep your Asda receipt handy when leaving – you’ll need to scan the barcode at the exit barrier. Having it out and ready will get you out quickly and prevent hold-ups at the exit

🔮 Future Developments

• 2025: Plans under consideration to install additional EV chargers (expanding from 1 to 3–4 charging bays to meet growing electric vehicle demand)

• 2026: Asda evaluating a switch to a barrierless ANPR system for this car park, aiming to streamline entry/exit (pilot tests ongoing – could replace the current barrier if successful)
