APCOA-managed parking near Highfield Road beach
Highfield Road Car Park, managed by APCOA, is a surface lot serving local residents and nearby sea-front amenities. It provides 70 marked bays including five disabled spaces located near the pedestrian exit. Operating hours are 7 am–10 pm daily; pay-and-display machines accept coins, contactless, and RingGo payments; no overnight parking. The tarmac surface is grooved for drainage and inspected quarterly, with potholes repaired within 48 hours. LED bollard lighting ensures safe early-morning and evening access, and two CCTV cameras monitor entry, exit, and pedestrian walkways. Pedestrian egress leads to Highfield Road beach access (2 minutes walk) and to the promenade (5 minutes). Two Type 2 EV charging bays are located by the entrance, available via pay-as-you-go. Weekly litter clearance and hedge trimming maintain a tidy coastal environment.
