Resident-only secure parking with accessible bays, permit enforcement, and lit pedestrian access near Sudbury town centre.
Ballingdon Street Parking is a permit-restricted surface car park exclusively for local residents, managed by Babergh District Council. The facility comprises 45 sealed tarmac bays, including three accessible spaces situated immediately adjacent to the pedestrian gate leading to residential flats. Access is controlled via displayed resident permits; non-resident parking is strictly prohibited and enforced by regular patrols. LED bollard lighting lines the main pedestrian walkway from dusk until 9 pm, enhancing safety for permit holders returning after dark. No CCTV is installed due to the low-crime nature of the residential area. Covered notice boards at the entrance display council permit regulations, renewal schedules, and local contact details. Monthly maintenance includes line repainting, pothole repair, and litter collection to maintain a respectful environment for residents. The car park lies within a three-minute walk of Sudburys Market Hill and offers convenient proximity to local bus stops on Ballingdon Street with hourly services to Bury St Edmunds.
