Free short-stay parking with accessible bays, community links, and local retail access.
Car Park 48A on London Road is a council-run surface facility in the Berechurch area, serving local shops, schools, and nearby residential streets. The lot provides 60 sealed gravel bays, including four accessible spaces located adjacent to the pedestrian pedestrian path leading to Berechurch Hall Community Centre. Parking is free for up to three hours with a ticket from pay-and-display machines accepting coins and contactless cards; overstays incur a penalty charge. Solar-powered LED bollard lights line the walkway from dusk until 9:00 pm, and one CCTV camera monitors the entrance for security. Covered notice boards at the lot entrance display community centre event schedules, local bus timetables for the 75 service to Colchester, and nearby amenities. Pedestrian pathways connect directly to the community centre, the local library, and a primary school within a three-minute walk. Quarterly maintenance includes gravel replenishment, line repainting of bay markers, and litter clearance to maintain a tidy neighborhood facility.
