New state-of-the-art car park opens at Campus West

The new state of the art car park, which is located next door to the Campus West independent cinema and entertainment complex, is fully accessible and has 239 pay and display spaces including:

· 27 disabled badge holder bays

· 21 parent and child marked bays

· 12 electric charging bays (2 of which are for disabled badge holders)

To encourage green travel, there is also a large bicycle rack for cyclists which can hold up to 92 bicycles.

The car park, which is managed by Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council (WHBC), is well lit and has 24 CCTV cameras and 3 ANPR cameras to ensure the safety of all of its users.

Information on pricing, including season tickets, can be found on the WHBC website. The new car park has pay and display machines that are contactless as well as machines that accept cash.

The upper deck of the new car park is undergoing final checks before it will be ready for use this summer. When both floors are open, the new car park will offer a total of 468 spaces compared to the 329 spaces in the old car park.

The redevelopment of the Campus West car park will act as a catalyst for the wider development of Welwyn Garden City town centre as part of the ambitious WGC 2120 programme. The opening of the new car park allows the phased development of other sites to take the world’s second garden city into its next one hundred years.
