APCOA-managed parking near Crescent Road shops
Crescent Road Car Park, managed by APCOA, is a council-owned surface lot offering 60 marked bays including five disabled spaces located near the pedestrian exit to Cobbold Road. Operating hours are 7 am–9 pm daily; pay-and-display machines accept coins, contactless, and RingGo payments; no overnight parking permitted. The tarmac surface is grooved to facilitate drainage and inspected quarterly; potholes repaired within 48 hours. LED bollard lighting ensures safe early-morning and evening access, and two CCTV cameras monitor entry, exit, and pedestrian paths. Pedestrian egress leads directly to Crescent Road retail (1 minute walk) and to Undercliff Road West promenade (3 minutes). No EV charging stations are installed; nearest public charger is at Cliff Road Car Park, a 5 minute walk away. Weekly litter clearance and hedge trimming keep the site tidy.
