Free rural parking with accessible bays, lit pedestrian routes, and direct access to Stisted village hall.
Free Car Park Stisted is a small village facility managed by Braintree District Council, located off the B1022 in Stisted. The lot provides 25 sealed gravel bays, including two accessible spaces positioned adjacent to the pathway leading to Stisted Village Hall and the local church. Parking is free of charge with no time restrictions, although overnight stays are discouraged by signage. Solar-powered LED bollard lights line pedestrian routes from dusk until 9:00 pm, ensuring safe egress. No CCTV is installed due to limited traffic and low crime rates. Covered community notice boards at the entrance display village event schedules, parish council announcements, and bus timetables for the No. 252 service to Braintree. Pedestrian pathways connect directly to the village hall, post office, and the historic church within a two-minute walk. Quarterly maintenance includes gravel replenishment, line repainting, and litter clearance to maintain a tidy village environment.
