Changes to parking permits and charges

Monday, 07 December 2015

Paper parking permits are to be replaced by more durable plastic permits. The new permit will include a permit number instead of a vehicle registration number, and so can be easily moved between vehicles staff have notified for being on site. All vehicles brought onto the University site are required to have a parking permit displayed in the window. 

In addition, the annual renewal process for parking permits is now becoming fully automated. Instead of having to manually renew each year, the new plastic permit will be valid for the duration of a staff member’s employment, unless a member of staff decides that a parking permit is no longer required. In this case, the permit can be returned to either Palmer or Whiteknights reception, in which Payroll will be notified and deductions for the permit will be cancelled.  

In order to avoid any inconvenience to staff while the transition takes place, permit expiry dates have been extended to the end of February 2016. 

Staff should also be aware that parking charges will increase from 1 January 2016. The charges will increase by 3%, which equates to an average of 1% per year since the last price increase in 2013. The new charges will be as follows:
