Market-side parking with free initial stay and accessible bays
Sneinton Market Square Car Park is a council-owned surface lot offering 150 bays, supporting the local market and surrounding residential area. Open dawn-to-dusk (approx. 6 am 8 pm), parking is free for the first 90 minutes; thereafter, a £0.80 per hour tariff applies (max £6/day), paid at machines accepting coin and contactless or via PayByPhone. Four accessible bays (3.6 m wide) are located adjacent to the disabled market stalls entrance, featuring tactile paving and drop-kerb access. The tarmac surface was resurfaced in late 2023, and bay markings refreshed in early 2024. LED column lighting ensures visibility during opening hours, and two CCTV cameras monitor key areas. In 2024, a dedicated community events bay was designated for market traders during peak times. Native shrub hedgerows border the eastern edge, aiding drainage. Weekly inspections ensure pay machines function correctly and drainage gullies remain clear.
