Evening-lit council parking adjacent to Bedworth sports facilities
Ponds Parking is a council-operated surface lot serving the Ponds area in Bedworth, providing 60 marked bays, including four disabled spaces located near pedestrian exits toward Station Road. The facility operates from 7 am10 pm daily, with pay-and-display machines accepting coins, contactless cards, and RingGo mobile payments; no parking is permitted outside operating hours. LED column lighting ensures the lot remains illuminated during early mornings and late evenings, and two CCTV cameras cover entry/exit points, focusing on theft deterrence. The asphalt surface is graded toward side drains, with potholes patched within 72 hours of reporting. Pedestrian pathways lead to Bedworth Sports & Social Club (2 minutes walk) and Ponds Road shops (3 minutes). Peak usage occurs on match days at the nearby rugby club; overflow signs direct visitors to Newdigate Arms Car Park when full. No EV charging points are provided; the nearest charging station is at Nuneaton Road Car Park, a 7-minute walk away. Regular litter clearance and hedgerow trimming are performed by council contractors.
