It provides 420 spaces, including 15 Blue Badge bays and 6 parent-and-child bays on Level 1.

LED lighting ensures full illumination until closing; CCTV cameras cover all levels. Two 22 kW EV fast chargers are available on Level 2, with spaces clearly signed. Elevators and stairwells provide access to retail floors above and the nearby Stoke-on-Trent Sixth Form College. Directional signage displays real-time space availability per level. Routine cleaning and maintenance are carried out overnight. Security staff perform hourly patrols.
