University-area parking with accessible bays, pay-and-display, and direct walk to Wivenhoe campus and waterfront.
Car Park B is a council-managed surface facility located off Boundary Road in Wivenhoe, serving residents and visitors to the University of Essex campus and waterfront. The lot provides 100 sealed tarmac bays, including four accessible spaces adjacent to the pedestrian pathway leading to Wivenhoe Quay. Pay-and-display machines accept coins and contactless cards; tariffs are £0.90 per hour with a four-hour maximum stay, and a daily cap of £5 applies. LED bollard lighting lines pedestrian routes from dusk until 11 pm, and two CCTV cameras monitor entrance and exit points. Covered information boards at the entrance display local heritage trail maps, campus event listings, and bus timetables for services connecting to Colchester town centre. Pedestrian pathways link directly to the university campus and Wivenhoe Station within a five-minute walk. Monthly maintenance includes line repainting, pothole repairs, and litter clearance to maintain a tidy environment for students and waterfront visitors.
