Ipswich Apex Car Park Offers Free Parking Every Thursday from 3 PM

Hey, listen to this news about parking! Starting next week, there is a ten-week trial. This happens every Thursday until April 24. It is at the Apex Blackfriars car park. That car park sits on Foundation Street.

You can park free after 3 PM on Thursdays. Drive in and stay until midnight closing time. This free parking is only for Thursdays. Remember that the trial runs for ten weeks. You don’t need a ticket upon entry after 3 PM. The system reads your license plate automatically. You can get a ticket the usual way if needed.

When you leave, just go straight to the exit. Drivers don’t need to use the pay station at all. You get free parking automatically on your way out. Ipswich Central hopes free parking brings more people. They want to see more support for local businesses.

The trial tests if free parking makes a difference. They will check if more people visit the town center. The town will also see if the car park use increases. Businesses will give their feedback too. If the trial works, they might extend the offer. This data will decide the future of the free parking. They measure success by these metrics.

The car park also offers a deal every day, for good measure. You can park “all day” for £3.95, Monday through Sunday. This early bird deal is always available too.
