B&M Car Park

Alright, so you're heading into town and need somewhere to dump the car? Let's talk B&M Car Park. It's right in the thick of it, smack-bang in Southport town centre, which is handy if you're planning on hitting up Lord Street or popping into Wayfarers Arcade. Google reviews are sitting pretty at 4.4 stars from 5 reviews, which isn't a huge sample size, but still, not bad.

It's open pretty standard hours, 8am to 6pm Monday to Saturday. Sunday's a bit shorter, kicking off at 11am and closing at 5pm. Now, it IS a B&M car park, so expect it to be pretty busy, especially on weekends and during school holidays. You might have to circle a bit to find a space.

The main advantage is definitely the location. You're right where you need to be. It's also generally well-lit and feels reasonably safe. I’ve never had any problems there myself.

Just a heads up: make sure you have change or a way to pay by app, as sometimes the machines can be a bit temperamental.
