Parking for King Street retail, restaurants, and theatre with EV charging
King Street Parking is a Council-operated surface tarmac lot on King Street, serving Macclesfield town centres retail, dining, and leisure precinct. The facility provides 80 marked bays, including six Blue Badge spaces near the pedestrian exit and two motorcycle bays. Operating hours are 8 am10 pm daily; pay-and-display charges of £1.20 per hour (capped at £5.00 per day) apply via machines accepting coins and contactless; Sundays are free for up to 2 hours. LED floodlights ensure full illumination until closing, and CCTV cameras monitor all areas. Pedestrian exits lead directly to King Street shops (50 m), Macclesfield Youth Theatre (100 m), and local bus stops. Two 7 kW EV chargers are available free for the first hour, then £0.30 per kWh, billed via QR code. Seasonal music festivals and street fairs reduce available spaces by 20%; signage directs drivers to Jordangate Multi-Storey Car Park (1 km). Maintenance crews repaint bay lines quarterly and clear litter weekly.
