Supermarket parking with free initial stay and EV charging
Managed by APCOA, this surfaced lot provides 100 bays for Wilkinsons shoppers and Bulwell town centre patrons. Operating 8 am10 pm daily; first two hours free via pay-and-display; thereafter £1/hr capped at £6/day, payable at machines (coin, card, contactless) or via APCOA app. Ten accessible bays (3.6 m wide) are adjacent to the store entrance, each with drop-kerb access and tactile paving. The surface was resurfaced in early 2024; bay markings refreshed mid-2024. Uniform LED column lighting ensures glare-free coverage after dusk; eight CCTV cameras with motion detection monitor all entry, exit, and aisles 24/7. Two 7 kW EV chargers were added in 2024 near the accessible bays, bookable via the Pod Point app. Covered cycle racks for 20 bicycles encourage active travel. Perimeter hedgerow planting screens adjacent properties and manages stormwater. Directional signage inside the lot guides drivers to exits onto Main Street and Nottingham Road. Monthly maintenance includes pay-machine servicing, barrier checks, litter clearance, and drainage gully cleaning.
