Free Customer Parking with Receipt Validation at Waitrose
Waitrose Car Park in Haywards Heath is a free surface-level facility reserved for supermarket customers, located adjacent to the railway station. The lot offers 150 marked bays, including ten accessible spaces located near the store entrance. Operating during store hours (7 am10 pm daily), users validate their parking by scanning a valid Waitrose receipt at the exit barrier for up to two hours free parking; extended stays incur a nominal fee payable at the exit machine, which accepts coins, banknotes, and contactless cards. CCTV cameras monitor all areas during opening hours, and LED bollard lighting ensures safe access during early morning and late evening. A covered trolley return area is positioned adjacent to the entrance. Pedestrian walkways connect to Haywards Heath Station and nearby retail outlets within a one-minute walk. Bus stops on Station Road provide frequent services to Burgess Hill and Brighton. EV charging is available via four rapid units located near the lots eastern boundary exclusively for store customers. Covered cycle racks accommodating twelve bicycles promote sustainable travel. Regular sweeping and maintenance keep the asphalt surface free of debris.
