The entrance to the new car park via Midland Road
A new car park that is free to use has been opened in a Derbyshire town.
The 54-space addition in Swadlincote's town centre also features a "pocket park", which is said to include more than 200 native copper beech trees.
The entrance to the car park is in Midland Road, and its exit is on to Belmont Street.
South Derbyshire District Council, which opened the space, said the site included eight electric vehicle charging bays.
Three of them are extra wide to make them accessible for wheelchair users, the council said.
