Automated ANPR parking for Windmill Road residential zone
Windmill Road Car Park is a surface-level lot employing ANPR technology, operated by a private facility manager. It provides 100 bays including eight disabled spaces located adjacent to the barrier entrance. Registered vehicles are added to the whitelist for barrier-free access; casual users must pre-register online and receive a QR code to scan at entry. The lot is open 24/7, with LED bollard lighting ensuring visibility during nighttime, and two CCTV cameras cover entry, exit, and central bay areas. The asphalt surface is inspected quarterly, with pothole repairs carried out within one week of identification. Pedestrian exit leads to the Windmill Road residential area (1-minute walk) and to a nearby convenience store (3 minutes). No EV charging points exist on-site; the closest public charger is located at Car Park P2 Wilsons Lane, a 5-minute drive away. Overnight security patrols by a contracted firm enforce ANPR compliance.
