Central multi-level parking on Star Lane with EV charging
Star Lane Car Park at 120 Star Lane is a council-operated multi-level structure offering 350 marked bays across three levels, including 18 disabled spaces on Level 1 adjacent to lifts. Entry uses ANPR for permit holders; casual users take a ticket at the barrier and pay at pay stations on Levels 1 and 2 accepting coins, card, and contactless. Overhead digital signage displays real-time bay counts per level. LED lighting provides uniform illumination, and ten CCTV cameras monitor all ramps, bays, stairwells, and exits 24/7. Ceiling clearance is 2.1 m, with low-clearance zones marked in red. Pedestrian exits connect to Star Lane retail (1 minute walk), to Salthouse Street market (4 minutes), and to Ipswich Waterfront (6 minutes). Four Type 2 EV charging bays are located on Level 2, available via pay-as-you-go. Monthly barrier and lift maintenance, quarterly structural inspections, and biannual repainting of floor lines ensure reliable operation.
