Award winning parking company Q-Park are opening a premier parking destination on Rockingham Street in Sheffield City Centre on Monday 23rd August.
This is the area of Sheffield where the cutlery works and the Assay Office used to stand and so artwork depicting this historic landmark will be placed around the new car park, which is centrally located near, restaurants, bars, hotels, Sheffield University and retail outlets. The Q-Park facility is attractive, safe, and secure and plays host to over 530 car park spaces which are all angled precisely for easy car parking.
Equipped to the highest degree of customer service facilities synonymous with the Q-Park brand, the parking destination offers free buggy & umbrella hire, a shoe shine machine, 24 hour CCTV, jump leads and even an AED heart defibrillator machine for emergencies.
As part of the Q-Park corporate social responsibility drive for a greener future, the new car park has power sockets for charging electric cars, a floor coating that absorbs spilt fuel and is cleaned with a machine that uses 60% less water than other cleaning machines. The Rockingham Street car park also has an eye catching green façade so when the sun shines through the car park gives off a beautiful green glow as well as boasting bright lighting, clearly illuminated signage and clear road markings for easy navigation around the car park.
The Q-Park team has taken extensive measures to ensure the public feel safe when using the customer focused parking destination. A Q-Park Host will carry out regular patrols to ensure safety and maintain cleanliness. The pedestrian entrances are secure; only those with a parking ticket can gain access to them and there are vehicle entrance security shutters which serve to keep out those with criminal intent of any description from entering the building.
Said Adam Bidder, managing director of Q-Park: "We are encouraging the people of Sheffield to help us name this green car park, the same way they named one of our other Sheffield car parks The Cheesegrater and we hope businesspeople, shoppers, commuters and tourists will try out our new Q-Park and enjoy all that it is has to offer by way of design, safety, convenience and service."
Adam also adds: "The car park is also a positive step forward for the future Sevenstone development as it is seen as a key strategic location for serving new retail and leisure facilities."
The car park was designed by Geoff Jennings from Archial Architects Ltd and developed by Worcestershire based, Cordwell Group who employed Rose Project Services to manage the scheme with ROK as the principal contractor.
