Council-operated parking serving Longford retail & industrial areas
Longford Road Car Park is a surface facility managed by Coventry City Council, offering 150 bays, including ten accessible spaces located adjacent to the pedestrian exit. The lot operates 7 am10 pm daily; pay-and-display machines accept cash, contactless cards, and RingGo mobile payments, with no overnight parking permitted. LED high-efficiency column lighting ensures safety during early mornings and late evenings, and three CCTV cameras monitor all entry, exit, and pedestrian areas. The tarmac surface is graded toward roadside drains; maintenance crews inspect and repair any surface damages within 48 hours. Pedestrian pathways lead to the Longford Road retail parade (2-minute walk), local clinics (3 minutes), and bus stops on Longford Road (4 minutes). Peak usage occurs during shift changes at nearby industrial estates; signage directs overflow to Car Park P2 on Wilsons Lane. Two Type 2 EV charging posts are installed on the southwest corner, available on a first-come, first-served basis for pay-as-you-go charging. Biweekly litter clearance and hedgerow trimming keep the site presentable.
