Convenient retail parking with accessible bays, pay-and-display, and easy walk to Chequer Square shops.
Chequer Square Car Park is a surface facility managed by West Suffolk Council, located behind the Chequer Square retail precinct, offering 200 sealed tarmac bays. Six accessible bays are positioned nearest the pedestrian pathway leading to the shops and cafés. Pay-and-display machines accept coins, contactless cards, and pay-by-phone; tariffs are £1 per hour with a four-hour maximum stay, and a daily cap of £6 applies thereafter. LED lampposts illuminate all aisles from dusk until 11 pm, and two CCTV cameras monitor entrances and accessible areas to enhance safety. Covered wooden benches and an information kiosk at the entrance display local event listings, shopping guides, and transport maps. Pedestrian pathways lead directly to the Chequer Square cinema, restaurants, and bus stops on Cornhill Street offering services to Bury St Edmunds station. Monthly maintenance includes line repainting, pothole repairs, and litter clearance to maintain a tidy environment for shoppers and diners.
