Pre-book secure parking at East Gate Centre with EV charging
East Gate Centre Parking is a private tarmac lot operated through YourParkingSpace, serving the East Gate retail and office complex. It offers approximately 80 marked bays including six disabled-access spaces located near the main entrance. Access is granted via pre-booked QR code; operating hours are 6 am–10 pm daily. The tarmac surface is grooved for drainage and undergoes quarterly inspection, with any potholes repaired within 48 hours. LED bollard lighting provides illumination during operating hours, and two CCTV cameras monitor entry, exit, and pedestrian pathways. Pedestrian access leads directly to East Gate shops (1 minute walk), to Ipswich Hospital outpatients clinic (5 minutes), and to the nearest bus stop on Heath Road (3 minutes). Two 22 kW Type 2 EV charging bays are located near the entrance, accessible to pre-booked users on a pay-as-you-go basis. Biweekly litter clearance and monthly hedge trimming keep the site tidy.
