The Forum Car Park Emerson Rd, Coventry CV2 5HW

The Forum Car Park is a multi-storey concrete structure operated by Coventry City Council, offering 260 parking bays across three levels, including fourteen disabled spaces on Level 1 adjacent to the lifts. Entry is ANPR-enabled for permit holders; casual users receive tickets at the barrier and pay at ground-floor machines that accept cash, card, and RingGo mobile payments. Digital bay-availability signage at each entrance guides drivers to empty spaces. LED lighting ensures bright, uniform illumination, and CCTV monitors all ramps, bays, stairwells, and pedestrian exits 24/7. Ceiling clearance is 2.2 m throughout, with red-painted beams marking low-clearance zones. Pedestrian egress leads to The Forum shopping centre entrances (2 minutes), Coventry Arena bus stops (4 minutes), and to a covered walkway to the adjacent civic offices (5 minutes). Two Type 2 EV charging bays are located on Level 2, bookable via the council’s parking portal. Routine maintenance includes monthly barrier servicing, quarterly lift inspections, and biannual repainting of floor lines. Tariffs encompass short-stay (up to 3 hours), day, evening, and weekend rates, with discounted rates for theatre and event-goers.
