Parking at Upchurch Village Hall

It is recognised that during the SGN gas network upgrade works in The Street and neighbouring roads, some residents may have difficulty parking their cars.

For this period only, Upchurch Village Hall will offer parking in their car park for those residents to help alleviate the problem.

Any resident parking in the Village Hall car park must respect that those using the hall have priority.

We would suggest drivers park in an orderly fashion, to the left near the Churchyard. 

Please respect this it is a private car park, and owners park there at their own risk.

Thank you
