Merton Meadow Capacity Slashed


The capacity of the Merton Meadow car park, which is right next to the Edgar Street football stadium, is to be slashed.

This from Herefordshire Council.

Due to the construction of the Edgar Street link road the number of parking spaces on Merton Meadow car park will be reduced from around 763 spaces down to around 190 spaces. Therefore the council is suspending the issue of season tickets for Merton Meadow car park to new applicants. Existing season ticket holders will still be able to renew their season tickets but may wish to consider whether they want to renew given the reduced number of spaces. Occupancy counts of the councils other public car parks and the private car parks within the city show that there is enough spare parking availability for vehicles that have been displaced from Merton Meadow car park.

Merton Meadow car park holds around 763 vehicles and the average number of vehicles that park on the car park is around 590 per day.

Therefore around 359 vehicles will be displaced from the car park. We foresee the closure being in place for around six months.
