Town Centre Parking - Chatham

Solomons Road, Chatham
(Location map)

A parking warden patrolled 24 bay reserved Blue/Orange Badge holders car park. A Shopmobility scheme is situated in this car park. The car park is uncovered but fairly centralised for High Street shops and the Pentagon Shopping Centre shops. Can get filled quickly, especially Fridays and Saturdays after 9:00 to 9:30 am.

High Street
Access from the car park to the High Street is via an alleyway. The alleyway has a marked camber and where it meets the High Street can get congested. It is only wide enough for one wheelchair to comfortably pass through. The florist can encroach into the exit of the alleyway sometimes displaying plants and flowers.

Access to the car park from the High Street has a blind spot of fencing at the end of the alleyway crossing point, this is made slightly more dangerous as access to the crossing point is down a marked decline.

Pentagon Shopping Centre
Access to the shopping centre is via 2 sets of doors. The outer set are electrically operated but the inner set are not. These inner set of doors are heavy and awkward to negotiate, the doorway has marked raised door sill.
