Secure parking at Macclesfield station with EV charging
Waters Green Car Park is a Council-managed surface tarmac facility on Waters Green, adjacent to Macclesfield Railway Station and serving commuters and town centre shoppers. The lot offers 180 marked bays, including 12 Blue Badge spaces near the station entrance and three motorcycle bays. It operates 4 am1 am daily; pay-and-display charges of £2.50 per day for rail users (via ticket validation) and £1.50 per hour (capped at £6.00 per day) for non-rail users, payable at machines accepting coins and contactless. LED floodlights provide full illumination until midnight, and CCTV cameras monitor all aisles. Pedestrian exits lead directly to the station platforms (50 m), local bus stops (100 m), and the town centre shopping streets (200 m). Four 22 kW EV fast chargers are available for £0.35 per kWh, billed via QR code. Seasonal holiday travel surges reduce available spaces by 10%; signage directs drivers to Pickford Street Car Park (0.7 km). Maintenance teams repaint bay lines each spring, repair potholes biannually, and clear litter weekly.
