Free short-stay parking with accessible bays and immediate access to shops and community centre.
Coulsdon Centre Car Park, managed by Tandridge District Council, is a surface facility serving the local retail parade and community centre on Chipstead Valley Road. The lot provides 80 sealed gravel bays, including four accessible spaces adjacent to the pedestrian footpath leading to the shopping area. Parking is free for up to three hours; pay-and-display machines accept coins and contactless cards for longer stays at £0.80 per hour, capped at £4 per day. Solar-powered LED bollard lights line the pedestrian walkway from dusk until 9:00 pm, ensuring safe evening access. No CCTV is installed due to low overnight traffic; local wardens conduct regular patrols during business hours. Covered information boards at the entrance display bus timetables for services to Croydon and Redhill, community notices, and retail centre maps. Pedestrian pathways link directly to nearby supermarkets, cafés, and the community centre within a two-minute walk. Monthly maintenance includes gravel replenishment, line repainting of bay markers, and litter clearance to maintain a tidy environment for shoppers and residents.
