Dedicated free parking while dining at McDonalds, adjacent to retail park
McDonalds Car Park is a private asphalt lot adjacent to the McDonalds restaurant on Great Western Way, dedicated to restaurant customers only. The facility provides 120 marked bays, including two Blue Badge spaces near the entrance and one dedicated delivery bay. Operating hours match restaurant hoursopen 6 am11 pm daily; parking is free for up to two hours; restricted signage and staff patrol ensure non-customer vehicles are ticketed and towed. LED floodlights provide illumination until midnight, and CCTV cameras monitor the lot continuously. Pedestrian access leads directly to the restaurant entrance (10 m) and to nearby retail outlets (50 m). No EV charging is provided; nearest EV stations are at Home Bargains Car Park (200 m) or Great Western Hospital Car Park (500 m). During peak meal times, capacity is reduced for drive-thru traffic flow, with signage directing spillover to adjacent Retail Park Car Park (0.3 km). Maintenance crews clear litter daily and pressure-wash the surface monthly.
