Town centre parking with EV charging and accessible bays
Eastwood Car Park (NG16 3AR) is a surfaced council lot offering 80 bays serving Eastwood 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. Four accessible bays (3.6 m wide) are within 10 m of the raised pedestrian crossing to Nottingham Road 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; two CCTV cameras monitor entry, exit, and aisles. A 7 kW EV charging point installed near the accessible bays in 2024 is bookable via the Pod Point app. Perimeter planters with seasonal shrubs enhance the streetscape and assist drainage. Directional signage inside the lot guides drivers to the exit onto Nottingham Road. Monthly maintenance includes pay-machine servicing, litter clearance, and drainage gully cleaning.
