grendel Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 I was wondering whether any locals could advise, as I will probably be needing to park the car at Beccles for a week or more at a time, whether any of the local car parks dont have time limits, so far I have found that you can book up to 31 days at morrisons car park through the Ringgo app for 31 days at £40, but a lot of the other car parks either dont have details or have shorter times? i realise there are other apps available, but its not so easy when you dont have a smart phone and have to rely on using a tablet on a wifi hotspot to use the app. so int the spirit of being prepared, i am trying to find out if there is long term parking elsewhere in Beccles.

Ray Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 There is one listed here - https://en.parkopedia.co.uk/parking/carpark/blyburgate/nr34/beccles/?arriving=202304122300&leaving=202304130100 This is from a web search so I don't have personal knowledge of it's suitability but there's a phone number in the link to check details. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hylander Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 I didn't realise you could book to park at Morrisons car park. I thought it was free and that is why at Christmas and New Year it was full. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webntweb Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Possibly a time limit on Free Parking Hylander. Our local Morrisons has always been two hours but they have just dropped it to one and a half hours, with a phone number for who to pay if you want to stay longer.

Hylander Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 When I tackled Morrisons Customer Services at Christmas about all these people parking in the car park long term I was more or less told they can do as they like and they are keeping an eye on the situation. The cashier seemed to think they were just using it as a car park for free. I have also noticed that people park in the parent and child parking area with no children whatsoever and also park in the disabled with no badge showing, so really it is like the wild west here. When I am next in the store which will be Monday and I will ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExSurveyor Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 When MiL was with us she was 96 and frail but didn't have a blue badge. Matron used to park in the parent and child bays as there was more access to get her out. She used it on the basis that they were parent and child. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawsOrca Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 If you put a week into parkopedia it only flags the train station. It maybe worth asking who ever runs the YS there (They may have a set up with the Quay parking but not sure I'd leave a car their for too long out of season. Beccles facebook group shows its not all rosy). You may be best just leaving it on one of the side streets as much as that's a pain for the locals.

grendel Posted April 13, 2023 Author Share Posted April 13, 2023 clearly states 31 days maximum, maybe if you pay by ringgo they flags that its ok to morrisons, as all the signs say 3 hours limit. thanks everyone for the research though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted April 13, 2023 Author Share Posted April 13, 2023 it seems the parking is run by euro car parks, who list the charges below, I think that customers get so much free parking (up to 3 hours) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hylander Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 There are no signs saying 3hrs parking at Morrisons only Tescos in Beccles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted April 13, 2023 Author Share Posted April 13, 2023 hmm streetview shows signs, that say 2 hours, no return within 3 hours, but it seems the car park is operated by euro car parks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bern Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 When we moored in Beccles Quay we used to leave our car in Beccles Quay car park and walk across the field to our mooring. The parking was free there then, not sure about now though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hylander Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 I was just about to suggest the car park at the Quay. I am sure you can pre pay because we do when we go to the Opticians whatever time you want to stay for. https://myringgo.co.uk/parkinglocator Took this this morning if it helps....

grendel Posted July 19, 2023 Author Share Posted July 19, 2023 Just thought I would update this topic, just arrived at Beccles, and parked in the Quay car park (fen lane) signs say pay at machine or by app, £3.50 a day, if you go to the pay4bay website to pay, you can book long term boaters parking, 5 days cost me £17.50. The car park number is 0007. Its also detailed on the Beccles council page about the Quay, you just need to put your reg number and card details in. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
