Market-side parking with EV charging and accessible bays
Duke Street East Car Park is a council-managed surfaced lot offering 60 bays serving Bulwell Market Square and adjacent shops. Operating hours are 7 am7 pm MondaySaturday (free Sundays), with tariffs of £0.80/hr capped at £5/day via pay-and-display machines (coin, card, contactless) or RingGo. Four accessible bays (3.6 m wide) are located within 8 m of the pedestrian crossing to the market entrance, featuring drop-kerb ramps and tactile paving. The asphalt was resurfaced in mid-2023; bay markings refreshed late 2023. LED column lighting provides glare-free illumination; four CCTV cameras monitor entry, exit, and all aisles. In 2024, a 7 kW EV charging point was installed near the accessible bays, bookable via the Pod Point app. Perimeter planting with native hedges offers a visual screen and assists stormwater control. Directional signage inside the lot guides drivers to the exit onto Duke Street. Monthly maintenance includes pay machine servicing, litter clearance, and drainage trench cleaning.
