PARKING PROBLEMS

Whilst they are knocking down the Connections building behind the Community Centre, you may want to consider using the car park at the back of North Street school. Drive east along The Broadway towards Southend, turn left into Alexandra Road and left again into North Street. It is a short walk to the Community Centre.
