Free village parking with accessible bay, short-stay limit, and direct access to Colne Engaine Village Hall and green.
Village Hall Car Park is a community lot adjacent to Colne Engaine Village Hall, managed by Colne Parish Council. The facility offers 20 sealed gravel bays, including one accessible space located next to the pedestrian entrance ramp leading to the hall. Parking is free of charge but limited to event durations (maximum three hours), enforced by local volunteers. Solar-powered LED bollard lights line the pedestrian path from dusk until 9 pm, ensuring safe access for evening functions. No CCTV is installed due to the low-crime rural setting. Covered notice boards at the entrance display village event schedules, hall booking information, and local walking trail maps. Pedestrian pathways connect directly to St Andrews Church and the adjacent community green within a one-minute walk. Quarterly maintenance includes gravel replenishment, line repainting, and litter collection to maintain a tidy, welcoming environment for villagers and visitors.
