Free 4-Hour Parking for M42 Service Users
Hopwood Park Services Car Park is a spacious, open-air facility catering to motorway travellers using the M42 service area. The lot offers over 300 marked bays, including ten accessible spaces near the service station entrance. Operating 24/7, parking is free for service users for up to four hours; thereafter, a nominal fee applies via pay-on-foot machines accepting coins and contactless payments. The site is monitored by CCTV cameras covering all aisles and entrances, and LED floodlighting ensures safe overnight parking. Designated coach bays and lorry parking spaces are clearly marked to separate heavy goods vehicles from cars. Pedestrian crossings and signposted walkways lead directly to the fuel station, fast-food outlets, and restrooms within a two-minute walk. EV charging is provided by six rapid charging points located near the main building. Additional amenities include a covered waiting area with seating and real-time traffic information displays.
