Free 3-hour parking for Sainsburys shoppers with EV charging
Sainsburys Car Park is a private surface lot dedicated to supermarket customers, offering 220 marked bays including 12 accessible spaces closest to the store entrance. Parking is free for up to 3 hours; after 3 hours, a £3 fee applies via pay-and-display machines accepting coins, contactless, and AppPay. LED floodlighting on high masts ensures full coverage during evening hours, and four CCTV cameras cover all entry, exit, and pedestrian pathways. The tarmac surface is sloped toward central drains, with quarterly inspections and pothole repairs completed within 48 hours. Pedestrian pathways lead directly to the store entrance (1-minute walk) and to adjacent retail units along Hillmorton Road (2 minutes). Four Type 2 EV charging bays are positioned near the entrance, available on a first-come, first-served basis for pay-as-you-go charging. Weekly litter removal and boundary hedgerow trimming maintain a neat site.
