Photo: [Pexels](https://www.pexels.com) ## The Howard Centre Car Park on Horne Lane The Howard Centre’s own car park is a multi-storey facility directly adjacent to the shopping centre, with 745 spaces (howardcentre.co.uk). Disabled parking spaces are on Level 1 (howardcentre.co.uk), making the centre’s facility the most direct choice for shoppers who need step-free access close to the building. The published charges are £100 a month, £280 quarterly and £975 annually (howardcentre.co.uk). The car park has entrances and exits serving the centre’s shopping area, while the facility’s position beside the centre keeps the walk short for shopping trips. ## Parksy Spaces Within Walking Distance of Howard Parksy lists a priced space in Heron Quay, 174 yd away, at £12 a day. A monthly space in Bedford is 223 yd away and costs £74 a month. The Child Development Centre has a space 260 yd away at £4.20 an hour, while a 24/7 parking lot is 0.2 mi away at £1.60 an hour. Further choices include a Bedford parking lot with 24/7 access and EV charging, 0.3 mi away at £4.40 a day, plus parking at Bedford Park Adelaide Square, also 0.3 mi away, at £16.80 a day. The £74 monthly space suits a regular Bedford visit, while the £4.40 daily option can work well when 24/7 access or EV charging matters more than parking immediately beside the centre.
