Student-friendly parking with accessible bays, pay-and-display, and quick walk to waterfront and campus.
Rose Lane Car Park is a compact surface lot operated by Ipswich Borough Council, serving local businesses and student housing near the town centre. The facility offers 60 sealed asphalt bays, including three accessible spaces positioned adjacent to the pedestrian walkway leading to nearby student apartments. Pay-and-display machines accept coins, contactless cards, and mobile payments; tariffs are £1.50 per hour with a daily cap of £6. Solar-powered LED bollard lights line pedestrian routes from dusk until 11:00 pm, ensuring safe egress for late-night study and social activities. Two CCTV cameras monitor entrances and accessible bays for security. Covered signage at the entrance displays local bus timetables for services to the university campus and town centre, as well as nearby café and convenience store locations. Pedestrian pathways link directly to adjacent student halls and the Ipswich waterfront within a five-minute walk. Monthly maintenance includes line repainting, pothole repairs, and litter clearance to maintain a clean, secure environment for residents and visitors.
