A “mobility hub” including five electric vehicle charging points, a bike storage space, and a digital display showing bus service information is to be installed in Derby.
The city council said work to create the hub in Grove Street car park, off Normanton Road, will begin in spring 2025 and be completed within a few months.
The authority said the car park will also be resurfaced and refurbished – including new solar lighting with the new hub the third of its kind in the city.
Councillor Carmel Swan said it was part of a wider strategy “to develop locations across the city where there is potentially difficulty with on-road parking and electric vehicle charging”.
Swan, cabinet member for climate change, transport and sustainability, said the car park was currently a “very dreary, dark and unappealing place to park your vehicle”.
“The idea behind this is not only will it be refurbished and resurfaced, but it will have the additional infrastructure to help people to make those decisions about the future of transport,” she said.
