Free park-and-ride with shuttle service to Church Stretton centre
Church Stretton Park & Ride is a free council-managed tarmac lot located on Central Avenue, providing commuter parking with shuttle service to the town centre. The facility offers 100 marked bays, including six Blue Badge spaces near the ticket kiosk and two motorcycle bays. It operates 6 am10 pm daily; parking is free upon purchasing a £2.00 ticket at the shuttle stop, which includes unlimited rides until closing. LED floodlights ensure full illumination until 10 pm, and CCTV cameras monitor all access points. Pedestrian exits lead directly to the shelter for shuttle buses (0.05 km) and to the South Shropshire College campus (0.2 km). Bicycle racks for 20 cycles are provided adjacent to the shuttle shelter. Seasonal festivals reduce shuttle frequency; signage directs drivers to on-street parking (High Street, 1 km). Maintenance teams repaint bay lines quarterly and clear litter weekly.
