Central multi-level parking steps from James Street shops
John Barford MSCP is a four-level structure owned by Rugby Borough Council, offering 420 bays including 20 accessible spaces located adjacent to elevators on each level. Entry uses ANPR for permit holders; casual users take a ticket at the gate and pay at pay stations on Levels 1 and 4 accepting coins, card, and RingGo. Digital bay-availability signage at each entrance directs drivers to free spaces. LED lighting throughout ensures bright, uniform illumination, and a network of ten CCTV cameras covers all ramps, bays, stairwells, and pedestrian exits 24/7. Ceiling clearance is 2.2 m with low-clearance areas marked in red. Pedestrian exits connect to James Street retail (1-minute walk), the Alexandra Arms pub (2 minutes), Rugby Theatre (4 minutes), and the railway station (7 minutes). Four Type 2 EV charging bays are located on Level 2, bookable via the councils portal. Routine maintenance includes monthly barrier and lift servicing, quarterly structural inspections, and biannual repainting of floor lines.
