Short-stay library parking with accessible bays, pay-and-display, and quick walk to Bury St Edmunds cultural attractions.
School Yard East Car Park is a short-stay surface facility located adjacent to Bury St Edmunds Library and the Buttermarket complex. The lot provides 70 sealed tarmac bays, including four accessible spaces closest to the pedestrian entrance leading to the library. Pay-and-display machines accept coins, contactless cards, and pay-by-phone; tariffs are £1.50 per hour with a maximum stay of two hours to encourage turnover, and a daily cap of £6 applies after four hours. Solar-powered LED bollard lights illuminate pedestrian paths from dusk until midnight, and two CCTV cameras monitor the entrance and accessible bays for safety. Covered information boards at the entrance display local event listings, library hours, and town centre maps. Pedestrian pathways connect directly to the library, museum, and Buttermarket shopping within a two-minute walk. Monthly maintenance includes line repainting, pothole repairs, and litter collection to maintain a clean environment for visitors.
