Church Meadow & Parking

Church Meadow was purchased by Great Bromley Parish Council in 2000 to ensure it continued as an amenity to the Church, St George’s School, the Cheshire Home and the village in general. It had been used as an informal car park for a number of years but the area allocated to this purpose increased since parish council ownership, giving 43 marked spaces and the surface overlaid in part with loose road planings, whilst retaining a separate grassed area for other uses. The new layout for safer car parking was introduced in January 2009 along with guidance on its use.

Please note that in extenuating circumstances parking can be extended by prior arrangement onto the grass area. However such requests cannot be entertained during winter months or during inclement weather due to the potential for long term damage. Church Meadow is closed to the public for at least one day per year.

The meadow has a small recycling centre for glass, controlled by Tendring District Council.

Additional parking in the village is available at the Village Hall for functions there.
