APCOA-managed village parking at The Elms, Framlingham
The Elms Car Park, managed by APCOA, is a tarmac surface lot serving local residential and retail properties in Framlingham. It provides approximately 45 marked bays including four disabled spaces near the gated entrance. Operating hours are 7 am–9 pm daily; pay-and-display machines accept coins, contactless, and RingGo payments; overnight parking is prohibited. The tarmac is grooved for drainage and inspected quarterly; potholes are repaired within 48 hours. LED bollard lighting ensures visibility for early-morning and evening users, and one CCTV camera monitors entry, exit, and pedestrian pathways. Pedestrian pathways lead directly to Framlingham town centre shops (2 minutes’ walk) and to Framlingham primary school (5 minutes). Two Type 2 EV charging bays are located near the entrance, available via pay-as-you-go. Weekly litter clearance and hedge trimming help maintain a tidy village car park.
