Multi-storey parking on Staffords vibrant waterfront
Waterfront Carpark is a council-owned multi-storey deck serving Staffords waterfront district, located off Waterfront Way. It offers 380 spaces over four levels, including 12 Blue Badge bays on Level 1 and four motorcycle bays on Level 0. The facility operates 24/7, with Pay-on-Exit machines at each level accepting coins, contactless cards, and ringGO mobile payments. Tariffs are £1.20 per hour, £5.50 for up to five hours, and £8.00 for 24 hours; the first hour is free with a valid ticket stamped at local cafés. The structure is lit by LED fixtures on each level until midnight and under CCTV surveillance at all entry points. Two 22 kW EV chargers on Level 2 serve electric vehicles; spaces are clearly signed. Pedestrian access via stair towers and lifts leads to Stafford Gate retail outlet (0.1 km), Stafford Crown Court (0.3 km), and the riverfront promenade. Clearway signage indicates space availability for each level. Maintenance crews conduct monthly inspections to ensure lighting, drainage, and bay-marking integrity. Security patrols run every two hours overnight.
