Village parking with accessible bays, pay-and-display, and walkable access to Earls Colnes high street and community amenities.
Queens Road Car Park is a small public lot managed by Braintree District Council, located off High Street in Earls Colne. The facility provides 45 sealed tarmac bays, including two accessible spaces positioned adjacent to the pedestrian entrance leading to the villages historic church and convenience store. Pay-and-display machines accept coins and contactless cards; tariffs are £0.80 per hour with a three-hour maximum stay, and a daily cap of £3 applies thereafter. Solar-powered LED bollard lights line pedestrian walkways from dusk until 10 pm, and one CCTV camera monitors the entrance to deter misuse. Covered notice boards display local heritage trail maps, bus schedules, and community announcements. Pedestrian pathways connect directly to Earls Colnes village green and public library within a two-minute walk. Monthly maintenance includes line repainting, pothole repairs, and litter collection to maintain a tidy environment that complements the villages historic character.
