Convenient short-stay bays outside Wellington Centre with accessible spaces
Wellington Street Short Stay Parking Bays consist of ten on-street marked bays located directly outside the Wellington Centre retail precinct. Operating hours are 8 am6 pm MondaySaturday; free Sundays. Maximum stay is two hours, at a tariff of £1 per hour, payable at the single pay-and-display machine accepting coin and contactless, or via RingGo app. Two accessible bays (3.6 m × 6 m) are situated closest to the pedestrian entrance to Wellington Shopping Centre, with dropped kerbs and tactile paving. LED streetlamps provide illumination after dark, and a single CCTV camera monitors all bays. In 2024, the asphalt was resurfaced, and bay markings refreshed. Directional signage at the northeast corner directs drivers to alternative long-stay parking on Church Street. Pedestrian crossings with tactile paving connect the bays to the shopping center entrance. Monthly inspections ensure signage legibility and that drainage gullies remain clear.
