Free short-stay parking in Eye town centre
Eye Free Car Park (IP23 7NH) is a council-managed gravel-and-tarmac surface lot offering approximately 40 marked bays including four disabled spaces near the pedestrian exit. Operating hours are 7 am8 pm daily; no charges apply; maximum stay 4 hours. The gravel-and-tarmac surface is grooved for drainage and inspected quarterly; potholes and ruts are repaired within 48 hours. LED bollard lighting provides minimal illumination for early-morning and evening users, and one CCTV camera monitors entry and pedestrian pathways. Pedestrian access leads directly to Eye town centre shops (3 minutes walk) and to Eye Railway Station (6 minutes). No EV charging stations are installed; nearest public charger is at Ipswich Street Car Park, a 20 minute drive away. Weekly litter clearance and hedge trimming maintain a clean town-centre facility.
