The Wheel Car Park| ANPR The Wheel, 624 Sewall Hwy, Coventry CV6 7JF

The Wheel Car Park is a gated surface facility employing ANPR technology, primarily serving the surrounding industrial estates and the University of Warwick satellite campus. With approximately 180 standard bays and 8 disabled bays, the lot operates 24 hours a day. Entry and exit are entirely automated, with registered vehicles added to the whitelist to open barriers without tickets. Casual drivers must pre-register online to receive a QR code, scanned at the barrier for access. LED floodlights provide excellent illumination, and high-definition CCTV cameras cover all angles. Pedestrian gates with swipe-card access link directly to the adjacent Sewall Highway cycle path (2 minutes’ walk) and the Coventry University Technology Park (5 minutes). The surface is asphalt; maintenance crews inspect and repair any cracks or potholes every quarter. Three Type 2 EV charging bays are located near the entrance, with charging managed via a dedicated smartphone app. Signage warns of a maximum vehicle length of 6 m and a headroom of 2.5 m. Tariffs for casual users are charged by the hour, with discounted monthly permits available for local employees. Regular security patrols are conducted overnight by a contracted firm.
