Local surface parking with pay-and-display and accessible bays
Stanhope Street Parking is a surface lot offering 75 bays along Stanhope Street near Heaton Road. Operating hours are 7 am 9 pm Monday Saturday; free Sundays. Pay-and-display charges £0.80 per hour, capped at £5 per day, via machines accepting coins, card, contactless, or RingGo. Two accessible bays (3.6 m wide) are located adjacent to the dropped-kerb crossing leading to local shops and bus stops. The tarmac surface was overlaid in mid-2024, and line markings refreshed in early 2025. LED streetlamps provide evening illumination, and two CCTV cameras mounted on lamp posts monitor the lot. Landscaping includes low hedgerow borders to screen nearby residences. Monthly patrols by community wardens enforce compliance, and drainage channels along the perimeter prevent waterlogging.
