The reduced rate will only apply at: Bishop Street, Gosford Street, Grosvenor Road, Grove Street, Lower Ford Street, New Union Street, and Whitefriars Street car parks.

Westminster Road Car Park

Please note that Westminster Road Car Park is a private car park for use by designated parking permit holders only – unauthorised vehicles will receive a parking fine.

Most car parks in Coventry are run by the Council. We look after the day-to-day running of the car parks, making sure people can find a parking space and that the equipment is working at all times. The safety of the people who use the car parks is important and we are improving the security to reach the high standards of the Safer Parking Scheme.
