Central free parking for Audley village amenities

The facility provides 50 marked bays, including three Blue Badge spaces adjacent to the Tesco Express entrance and one motorcycle bay. It is open from 7 am9 pm daily; no overnight parking. LED bollard lighting provides illumination until dusk. An information board at the entrance displays local walking routes (to Beacon Hill, 2 km) and village history. Pedestrian exits lead directly to the village church (0.05 km), local shops (0.1 km), and the community centre (0.2 km). No EV charging or CCTV is provided. Seasonal village carnivals reduce capacity by 20; signage directs drivers to alternate parking at the Memorial Gardens lot (0.4 km). Maintenance crews clear litter weekly and repaint bay lines annually.
