Town centre parking with EV charging and accessible bays
Arnold Car Park (NG3 5GR) is a surfaced council lot offering 100 bays serving Arnold town centre. Operating 8 am8 pm MondaySaturday (free Sundays), tariffs are £0.80/hr capped at £5/day via machines (coin, card, contactless) or RingGo. Six accessible bays (3.6 m wide) are within 10 m of the raised crossing to High Street shops, each with drop-kerb ramps and tactile paving. The tarmac was resurfaced in mid-2024; bay markings refreshed late 2024. LED column lighting ensures coverage after dusk; four CCTV cameras with motion detection monitor entry, exit, and aisles. A 7 kW EV charging point was installed in 2024 near the accessible bays, bookable via the Pod Point app. Perimeter planter beds provide visual appeal and manage stormwater. Directional signage inside the lot guides drivers to the exit onto High Street. Monthly maintenance includes pay-machine servicing, litter clearance, and drainage gully cleaning.
