New Car Park for Bedford Town Centre
Subject to planning permission, a new town centre car park could be created which will include 40 new car parking spaces for the public and 3 disabled spaces.
The proposed car park will be south of the river at St Mary's Gardens, between Bedford College and Borough Hall.
Lib Dem Mayor of Bedford Borough Dave Hodgson said: "Just over the bridge from Riverside Bedford, this new public car park will help meet increased demand for parking as town centre footfall continues to grow. With ongoing investment in our car parks and a free parking option available every day in Bedford town centre, we are constantly working to help make Bedford town centre an even more enjoyable, accessible and vibrant town for all."
Everyone can currently enjoy 2 hours free parking at Queens Street Multi Storey car park, Monday to Sunday inclusive.
