Meadows Retail car park

Other Meadows car parks 

There are four car parks in Chelmsford called the Meadows.

We own levels 1 to 5 of this car park and Meadows Surface car park, but we do not own:

• Q-Park Meadows Multi-Storey Car Park, which is next to the shopping centre and opposite the Odeon cinema
• Euro Car Parks Meadows Surface, which is in Springfield Road and High Bridge Road
• the ground floor (level 0) of Meadows Retail car park, labelled "The Meadows Retail Car Park - Chelmsford", which is also managed by Euro Car Parks

If you park in these private car parks, the opening times and fees will be different to the council-run car park. The pay by phone operator will also be a different company to MiPermit. You should use RingGo instead and select one of the following locations:

• 40258 (Q-Park - Meadows Car Park)
• 681196 (ECP-Meadows Retail Park Surface Car Park)
• 687962 (ECP-Meadows Retail Park MSCP Levels 0 & 1 Only)

If you are a Blue Badge holder, you should check if you have to pay for your whole stay in these private car parks.
