Pay-and-display parking on York Road, Southwold
York Road Car Park is a council-managed tarmac surface lot offering approximately 40 marked bays including three disabled spaces located near the pedestrian exit. Operating hours are 7 am–9 pm daily; pay-and-display machines accept coins, contactless, and RingGo payments; no overnight parking. The tarmac surface is grooved to facilitate drainage and inspected quarterly; potholes are repaired within 48 hours. LED bollard lighting ensures visibility for early-morning and evening visitors, and one CCTV camera monitors entry and pedestrian pathways. Pedestrian walkways lead directly to Southwold town centre (2 minutes’ walk) and to local shops on Victoria Street (3 minutes). Two Type 2 EV charging bays are located near the entrance, available via pay-as-you-go. Weekly litter clearance and hedge trimming maintain a tidy village car park.
