  • Parking on Lagny St, NE66

    There was always a space available to park in. The carpark was well lit and well maintained. Very convenient location for accessing the town center. Would use this service/car park again.

    This space is really easy to find and well located. The space is actually Morrisons car park and so if you're following a sat nav be aware. Left my car for two nights and didn't worry about leaving it. The car park is well lit with a lot of space so you'll have no issue parking here.
