Covent Garden car park closed in February 2023 leaving some of the surface area car park available for parking, but with the reopening of two floors and some clever use of the space, a further 100 spaces will be available for residents and visitors to the town to use when they visit local businesses and events.

There are still two floors which remain out of use, and the council is assessing options for how they might be used.

The surface area has 89 spaces, which includes 8 disabled bays and 15 created by clearing up the unsightly bin area and motorcycle bay. The two levels reopening in July have a total of 104 spaces which includes 6 parent and child bays.
