Large multi-level ANPR parking with accessible bays, direct pedestrian links to High Street and Castle, and 24/7 CCTV.
St Marys Multi-storey Car Park is a four-level facility managed by Colchester Borough Council, located off Balkerne Hill in central Colchester. The lot provides 600 sealed concrete bays, including 25 accessible bays distributed across Levels 1 and 2 adjacent to lift lobbies offering step-free access to all floors. Entry and exit are ANPR-controlled; pay-on-foot machines on each level accept coins, notes, and contactless payments. Tariffs are £2.50 for the first hour, £1.75 per subsequent hour, and capped at £12 per day, with discounted evening rates after 6 pm. High-intensity LED lighting illuminates all levels from dusk until dawn, and a network of 24 CCTV cameras ensures comprehensive security coverage. Covered pedestrian bridges on Level 2 connect directly to Colchesters High Street and Colchester Castle within a five-minute walk. Monthly maintenance includes line repainting, structural inspections, and deep cleaning of ramps and bays to maintain a safe environment for shoppers and commuters.
