Community parking with pay-and-display and accessible bays
This council-operated surface lot on NG3 2FX offers 120 bays serving the Mapperley Plains residential and retail area. Operating hours are 8 am 8 pm Monday Saturday (free Sundays). Pay-and-display tariffs are £1 per hour, capped at £6/day, payable via machines accepting coin, card, contactless, or via PayByPhone. Four accessible bays (3.6 m wide) lie adjacent to the dropped-kerb pedestrian crossing leading to local shops on Plains Parade, featuring tactile paving. The asphalt surface was resurfaced in late 2023, with bay markings repainted in early 2024. LED column lighting provides evening illumination, and two CCTV cameras monitor entry, exit, and aisles. Seasonal planter beds border the northern edge, improving drainage and visual amenity. Monthly patrols by parking enforcement ensure compliance with time limits.
