This car park will revert to a Pay & Display system from 1st April 2026. Autobill is no longer available for payments, and all payments must be made at the payment terminals located within the car park.
How to Pay
Pay using cash or contactless at the payment terminal before returning to your vehicle. You'll need to enter your vehicle registration and pay the fee shown on the screen.
As Autobill is no longer available, all payments must now be made at the payment terminals located within the car park. The car park barrier will no longer open automatically.
If the barrier opens and you have not made payment, you must contact the Parking Services team to obtain bank details and make payment for your session. Failure to do so may result in a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) being issued.
Your session history in Autobill will remain available in the ‘Sessions’ tab until 26th March 2026.
10-minute grace period
If you enter the car park and there are no spaces so you exit the car park within 10 minutes, you will not be charged, and the barrier will open on exit. The same applies if you decide not to park after entering.
If you go over the 10 minutes, you will be charged and will have to pay before exiting the car park.
There is also a 10-minute transit period to exit the car park after you have made payment. If you exceed this time, payment will be required for the additional period.
Electric vehicles
Electric vehicles using an EV charging point will need to pay for parking at the payment terminals.
Motorbikes
Motorbikes do not need to pay for parking.
Blue badge holders
If you're a blue badge holder you can still park for free for up to the 3 hours maximum period allowed. You must scan your blue badge barcode that is on the back of your blue badge at the payment terminal and enter your vehicle registration to exit the car park.
If you park for longer than 3 hours, you will be required to pay for the additional time spent.
Season ticket holders and permit holders
If you have a car park season ticket, your registration plate will be recognised by our cameras and the exit barrier will open when leaving the car park.
If you have a Car Park Resident Permit, your registration plate will be recognised by our cameras as being a permit holder and you will be allowed to park up to the maximum period allowed. The exit barrier will open when leaving the car park. If you park beyond the maximum stay period, you must pay for the additional time spent.
