Sherwood shopping parking with pay-and-display and accessible bays
Winchester Street Car Park is a council-operated on-street facility offering 60 marked bays serving the Sherwood shopping parade and nearby residential apartments. Operating hours are 8 am to 6 pm MondaySaturday (free Sundays), with a pay-and-display tariff of £1 per hour, capped at £6 per day; payment accepted via machines (coin, card, contactless) or via RingGo. Three accessible bays (3.6 m wide) are positioned within 8 m of the pedestrian crossing leading to the Sherwood Community Hub, featuring drop-kerb ramps and tactile paving. The asphalt surface was overlaid in late 2023, with fresh thermoplastic bay markings applied in early 2024. LED streetlamps on 8 m poles provide bright illumination after dusk, and a single CCTV camera mounted on a lamppost monitors all bays. In 2024, planter troughs with native shrubs were installed along the northern edge to improve drainage and beautify the streetscape. Directional signage at the western end of the street guides drivers to alternative long-stay parking on Mansfield Road when the lot is full. Monthly inspections ensure pay machine functionality, litter clearance, and pothole repairs.
