Vehicle access
Farnborough town centre is mostly pedestrianised and access is through bollards at:
- The bottom of Queensmead, near Wimpy
- Halfway down Eastmead
If you need access for your vehicle, you must email towncentremanager@rushmoor.gov.uk and tell us:
- Date and time you need access
- Registration details of the vehicle being used to access the site
- A contact phone number
We need to receive this information at least 24 hours before you require access to the site. We do not allow access on Tuesdays or Friday, unless you are a market stallholder.
Regeneration
We are working with the Rushmoor Development Partnership to bring forward exciting proposals for a new civic quarter for Farnborough town centre including a new leisure centre.
Further information is available on our town centre and regeneration pages.
