Village parking for South Street shops, station, and EV charging
South Street Car Park is a private tarmac facility managed by Alderley Edge Parish Council, located on South Street, serving village amenities, shops, and cafes. The lot provides 70 marked bays, including five Blue Badge spaces near the pedestrian exit and one motorcycle bay. It operates 8 am8 pm daily; pay-and-display charges of £1.00 per hour (capped at £4.00 per day) apply via machines accepting coins and contactless; Sundays are free for up to 2 hours. LED lamp posts provide full illumination until 10 pm, and CCTV cameras monitor all driving lanes. Pedestrian exits lead directly to Alderley Edge village shops (50 m), the railway station (150 m), and bus stops (200 m). Two 7 kW EV chargers are available at £0.30 per kWh, billed via QR code. Seasonal village fairs and live music events reduce capacity by 20%; signage directs overflow to Ryleys Lane Car Park (0.5 km). Maintenance crews repaint bay lines quarterly and clear litter weekly.
