All Rushcliffe car parks free until further notice amid coronavirus lockdown

All Rushcliffe Borough Council managed car parks are free to use with time limits lifted until further notice in light of Covid-19.

The authority is not enforcing parking restrictions but asks all motorists to observe disabled bay rules.

They include the sites at:

  • Bridgford Road, West Bridgford
  • Albert Road, West Bridgford
  • Gordon Road, West Bridgford
  • Newgate Street, Bingham
  • Needham Street, Bingham
  • Bunny Lane, Keyworth
  • Church Drive, Keyworth
  • Radcliffe-on-Trent Health Centre
  • Walkers Yard, Radcliffe-on-Trent
  • Rushcliffe Country Park

The authority said it will review this decision monthly, with signs now in place highlighting the arrangements for car park users and advice on observing social distancing in line with government guidelines.

This includes keeping a distance of two metres between others, one exercise session per day and leaving the house to buy essential goods only before returning home.

The Prime Minister ordered people only to leave their homes under a list of “very limited purposes”, banned public gatherings of more than two people and ordered the closure of non-essential shops.

People will still be allowed to leave their homes in certain circumstances, in measures announced on Monday night (March 23).

They can also seek medical help, provide care to a vulnerable person or travel to work if “absolutely necessary”, under the measures to last until at least Easter Monday.
