Accessible parking on campus
Accessible bays are larger parking bays located close to building entrances. Please remember that some people who require these bays:
- Have no other option but to drive and park on campus
- Require the larger bays to get out of their vehicle, for example fully opening the car door if they are in a wheelchair or on crutches
- Need to move their vehicle to other accessible bays multiple times within one day
- Need to park as close to their building as possible
Please only park in accessible bays if you are entitled to do so, see below for more information.
Government Blue Badge holders
If you hold a valid Government Blue Badge you can park in pink zones, blue zones and pay & display car parks including accessible bays. Please do not park in reserved bays or restricted parking areas. See table below for information about parking permits.
