Local access and moving advice
Chard's main shopping streets are Fore Street and Holyrood Street. Holyrood Street lies within the Chard Conservation Area, so expect some older, tighter frontages. Pay-and-display car parks nearby include Boden Street, Marketfield, Combe Street, Crowshute and Essex Close. Regeneration works reportedly added two loading bays in the town centre. Always check on-site signs, as restrictions and stay limits can change.
To save time on the day:
- Tell us about parking, stairs, lifts and narrow entrances when you enquire.
- Disassemble large furniture beforehand where possible.
- Keep access clear.
- Ask for a helper if you have heavy or awkward items.
