Recent Changes in the Car Parks
There’s been a few changes in car parking in Bishop’s Stortford recently, the brand new multi story at Northgate End has opened, with 573 long and short stay spaces and Link Road has become short stay only. The Causeway and Charringtons have now closed, ahead of the Old River Lane development. If you used to regularly use the Causeway we recommend Link Road, which is literally just across the road and is short stay, just like Causeway used to be. Watch the video here to see all your parking options.
Here’s our handy guide to the car parks in town….
