Hi there, folkx, so.. from Sunday 18th October, the car park (the bit on Railway Land) will no longer be free. This is in part due to the nearby car dealership parking their cars on site.
Not sure how this will effect us. There might be a parking camera. As soon as I have more info. It says Max Charge so for our 2 hours it might be less. There is still on road parking and the 24 Hour Car Park near the pub
