Free parking near Church Stretton shops and church
Lion Meadow Car Park is a free, council-operated tarmac lot located on Lion Meadow, serving Church Strettons southern residential area and village centre. The facility offers 40 marked bays, including three Blue Badge spaces near the pedestrian exit and one motorcycle bay. It operates 8 am8 pm daily; no pay-and-display machines, but maximum stays of 3 hours are enforced. LED lamp posts provide illumination until midnight, and CCTV cameras monitor the entrance only. Pedestrian exits lead directly to village shops on Sandford Avenue (0.05 km), the St Laurence Church (0.2 km), and bus stops to Shrewsbury and Ludlow. Two 7 kW EV charging points are available free for residents, billed via QR code. Seasonal town fêtes reduce capacity by 5; signage directs drivers to the Easthope Road overflow car park (0.5 km). Maintenance crews repaint bay lines each spring and perform litter picks weekly.
