Car Parking

The Church has no public car park, but there is a free car parking off Whitworth Road within very short walking distance of the Church. From there the Church may be accessed on foot via the pedestrian crossing at the top of Cheney Manor Road.
Out of consideration for shoppers, please do not park in the Co-op car park opposite when the store is open.

Disabled Parking & Access

There is disabled parking for three cars behind the Church. Vehicular access to these spaces is via a driveway between the shops in Blair Parade (turn left at the crossroads just past the Church). Wheelchair access to the Church is via the rear gate immediately to the left of the disabled parking spaces, on a level path leading to the central entrance.

Please speak to the member of the Welcome Team at the front door of the Church if you need any assistance, who will be glad to help you.
