Supermarket parking with free 90 min validation and accessible bays
Located behind the Co-operative Food store on Arnold High Street, this private tarmacadam lot offers 60 bays for supermarket customers. Open 6 am11 pm daily, parking is validated at the till: first 90 minutes free with any purchase, thereafter a flat £2 fee applies via contactless card at exit barrier. Four accessible bays (3.6 m wide) lie adjacent to the rear store entrance, each fitted with drop-kerb ramps and tactile paving. Surface resurfacing and new bay markings were completed in late 2023. LED column lighting provides uniform coverage after dark, supplemented by motion-activated bollard lights near the accessible bays. Four CCTV cameras with infrared capability monitor entry, exit, and all aisles 24/7. Perimeter planter beds with seasonal flowers enhance visual appeal and control runoff. Directional signage directs customers to the exit onto High Street. Quarterly maintenance includes barrier checks, pay-machine servicing, and litter clearance.
