Convenient retail parking on Martlesham Heath Main Road
Main Road Car Park is a council-operated surface lot serving Martlesham Heath retail and residential areas. It provides 70 marked bays including five disabled spaces located near the pedestrian exit to Main Road shops. Operating hours are 7 am–8 pm daily; pay-and-display machines accept coins, contactless, and RingGo payments; no overnight parking permitted. The tarmac surface is grooved to facilitate drainage, inspected quarterly, with pothole repairs completed within 48 hours. LED column lighting ensures visibility for early-morning and evening users, and two CCTV cameras monitor entry, exit, and pedestrian walkways. Pedestrian pathways lead to Martlesham Heath retail park (1 minute walk) and to local bus stops (3 minutes). Two Type 2 EV charging bays are located near the entrance, available via pay-as-you-go. Weekly litter clearance and hedge trimming maintain a neat environment.
