Central Bedfordshire County Council

Central Bedfordshire website gives the following information:
Only three of our car parks allow sufficient access and manoeuvrability to accommodate motor homes. All of our car parks are covered by Traffic Regulation Orders which contain height restrictions and a requirement to park within a bay, however the following car parks will make exceptions (including relaxed height restrictions) for motor homes provided the following requirements are met:
where a motor home cannot fit into a single parking bay due to its length, the driver must purchase two pay and display tickets for the two bays occupied
no form of camping, sleeping overnight or cooking are allowed. There are no facilities for these activities.

Click here for list of off street car parks. The only information available is the name of the car park and the charges applicable to it.

The Parking and Enforcement Plan 2013 for Luton states that all car parks have height restrictions. I have enquired from the council if this is correct and could they do something about it for us motorhomers. The answer was no the height barriers will stay 'to prevent unauthorised encampments'. There was no recommendation for where a motorhome could park instead a phone number to call 'for assistance in relation to parking a larger vehicle'. The number is 0158 254 8523.

Out of town parking.
Capability Green Business Park LU1 3PE. No height restrictions. 120 spaces. It is about 1 mile into Town Centre but there are bus stops on Cutenhoe Road. ///garage.silks.smoke
