  • Parking on South St, PO30

    Being a supermarket parking space, it was very easy to park here. I would highly recommend using this location.

  • Parking on Co-op, PO30

    Superb. Easy to do. Lots of spaces. No hassle. Good value. Will do this again. Turns on the ramps were a bit tight, but otherwise a good car park.

  • Parking on Co-op, PO30

    Fantastic as I needed to park for several hours, it took all the worry away for me, was very reasonable & I will definitely use them again now my Husband found it for me Thankyou

  • Parking on Co-op, PO30

    Easy parking, close to High Street, Parked daily for a few weeks while staying in the area and on a as need basis over the last year, always found a space.

    Jenny
  • Parking on Co-op, PO30

    It’s in a good location. Never had a problem getting a space - just find one, park and away you go - ignore the signs showing parking T’s & C’s, they don’t apply to you! Top Tip - head up 2 floors for diagonal parking spaces, which will save your paint work! Talking of which, some of the turns are a bit tight, so take it slow!

  • Parking on Co-op, PO30

    The parking was well located and easy to find. The lighting in stairwell is poor and needs to be upgraded . Noticed that there was no security guards or cameras in parking area.

  • Parking on Co-op, PO30

    I was amazed to find 24 hrs of parking for just £3.50. as we were staying in Newport town centre for a few days for our holiday I had to be organised to get the car parked at an affordable way. Originally I had only booked one day but then the weather caught us out and I was hoping to book on short notice which turned out to be no problem at all. I then also had to change my first booking and it was being amended at no extra cost which I really appreciate. I would definitely recommend the service.

    Good multi storey car park in ideal location for centre of Newport. Good sized spaces for my vehicle however bit of a tight corner at top of first ramp so watch your wheels! Happy with price for a days parking compared to other car parks.
