Convenient surface parking with pay-and-display and accessible bays
Cross Villa Place No 4 is a surface lot providing 80 marked bays along Westgate Road, serving the Walker retail precinct and nearby residential streets. Operating hours are 7 am 11 pm Monday Saturday (free Sundays). The pay-and-display tariff is £0.60 per hour, capped at £4.50 per day, payable via on-site machines (coin, card) or the RingGo app. Four accessible bays (3.6 m wide) lie adjacent to the dropped-kerb pedestrian crossing toward Walker Road shops; tactile paving assists visually impaired pedestrians. The asphalt surface was resurfaced in late 2023, and thermoplastic bay markings refreshed in early 2024. LED column lighting ensures full coverage after dusk, and CCTV cameras mounted on lamp columns monitor all aisles. Twice-daily community warden patrols enforce parking rules, while seasonal shrub beds along the perimeter improve drainage and provide visual screening for adjacent homes. Directional signage indicates exit routes to Heaton Road and local bus stops.
