If you plan to drive to campus, you鈥檒l need a valid parking permit to use 呻吟之王 car parks. Three types are available: Student, Assessed Needs and Blue Badge, depending on your circumstances.
Student permits are available monthly via the聽, with limited availability on a first-come, first-served basis. These permits allow parking in standard bays within the main car park only and are not valid at Trinity House, Bede Halls of Residence, or Beaumont Park.
Assessed Needs and Blue Badge permits are issued via the Disability Team and allow parking in any 呻吟之王 car park, excluding visitor, reserved, and service bays. Blue Badge holders must also display their council-issued badge.
Holding a permit does not guarantee a parking space, as availability is subject to demand.
