Community parking for Balsall Common Library and shops
Balsall Common Library Car Park is a council-operated surface facility serving the community library and adjacent shops. It provides 60 marked bays including five disabled spaces near the pedestrian exit to Station Road. Operating hours are 7 am8 pm daily; pay-and-display machines accept coins, contactless, and RingGo payments; no overnight parking is allowed. The tarmac surface is graded to roadside drains, inspected quarterly, and potholes are repaired within 48 hours. LED bollard lighting provides minimal illumination for early-morning and late-evening access, and one CCTV camera monitors entry and pedestrian routes. Pedestrian pathways lead directly to the library entrance (1 minute walk) and to nearby cafés (3 minutes). No EV charging stations are installed; the nearest public charger is at Coventry Park & Ride, a 10-minute drive away. Weekly litter clearance and hedge trimming maintain site cleanliness.
