Electric car charging

We have two electric vehicle charging points at The Friary car park. Two bays are reserved for charging electric vehicles and are served by a twin 7kWh charge unit on a first come first served basis.

You will need to have an RFID card to open up the ports and connect your standard seven pin lead. 

There is no extra charge for electricity usage but the parking tariff will apply at all times, including overnight and on Sundays and bank holidays, when using these bays.

The free of charge concession for Blue Badge and permit holders do not apply to vehicles using the charging facility - please make sure you purchase and display a pay & display ticket.

If you drive an electric vehicle or hybrid and wish to park, but not charge, then please use a normal bay.

Please remove your vehicle from the charging bay when charged to allow other electric vehicle owners to use the charge facility.

If you have any problems using the charge units, please contact our customer services on 01543 308000 during working hours. Please quote your location as
