Free 2-hour shopping parking at Waitrose with EV charging
Waitrose Car Park is a private surface facility serving Waitrose supermarket and adjacent retail units. It offers 180 marked bays including twelve disabled spaces located nearest the store entrance. Parking is free for up to 2 hours; after which, a £2 fee applies via pay-and-display machines accepting coins, contactless, and RingGo. LED high-mast floodlights provide visibility for early-morning and late-evening shoppers, and four CCTV cameras monitor all entry, exit, and pedestrian routes. The tarmac surface is grooved to manage drainage, with quarterly inspections and pothole repairs completed within 48 hours. Pedestrian pathways lead directly to Waitrose entrance (1 minute walk) and to nearby cafés (2 minutes). Four Type 2 EV charging bays are located near the entrance, available on a first-come, first-served basis for pay-as-you-go charging. Weekly litter clearance and hedge trimming maintain a tidy environment.
