Coach Parking Access Strategy

Overview

Birmingham City Council wants to hear from coach operators and places that welcome coach visitors. We want to better understand what is working well and what the current challenges with coaches travelling to, moving around, or stopping in Birmingham.

Coaches play an important role in supporting tourism, business travel, events, and the wider visitor economy. We want to make sure Birmingham stays an attractive and efficient destination for coaches and the people who use them.

Your feedback will help us plan for the future, make things easier for coach drivers, improve the trip for passengers, and support Birmingham’s economy.

Birmingham City Council receives some of this funding. Part of it, called the Improving Tourism Development Fund, is used to make Birmingham’s tourism places and services better.
