Car Park Charges now apply in High Street Car Park
The good news is that the first hour of parking remains free, although motorists must still obtain a ticket, either from the ticket machine or online.
The current charges are:
- First hour: Free (ticket required)
- Up to 4 hours: £1.10
- Over 4 hours: £2.10
Between 6.00 pm and 8.00 am, the first hour is also free, with a flat overnight charge of £1.10 for stays of more than one hour.
It has already become noticeable that the car park is being used less than before. That is understandable while everyone gets used to the new arrangements, but it would be a shame if it resulted in more vehicles being left on nearby streets instead.
On street parking has long been one of Lambourn’s biggest challenges, contributing to traffic congestion and making it more difficult and less safe for pedestrians, particularly where visibility is reduced. A quick look along the High Street this morning found four vehicles parked on double yellow lines.
The High Street Car Park remains a convenient and affordable place to park, particularly for shorter visits, and making use of it helps to keep the village centre safer and more accessible for everyone.
