Hospital and staff parking with short-stay options and EV charging
Kennedy Avenue Car Park is a Council-managed surface tarmac lot on Kennedy Avenue, serving Macclesfield general hospital staff and visitors as well as nearby industrial units. The facility offers 130 marked bays, including eight Blue Badge spaces near the hospital walkway and two motorcycle bays. It operates 6 am8 pm daily; parking is free for hospital outpatients for up to 2 hours, enforced by pay-and-display for longer stays (£1.00 per hour, capped at £5.00 per day) via machines accepting coins and contactless. LED floodlights ensure full illumination until dusk, and CCTV cameras monitor all entry and exit points. Pedestrian exits lead directly to the hospital main entrance (100 m) and the Macclesfield General Hospital staff gate (150 m). Two 7 kW EV chargers are available at £0.30 per kWh, billed via QR code. Seasonal flu vaccination clinics reduce capacity by 15%; signage directs drivers to Waters Green Car Park (1 km). Maintenance crews repaint bay lines each spring, repair potholes biannually, and clear litter weekly.
