Operation

This car park is a barrier controlled car park and operates virtually which means it will not issue a parking ticket on entry. The barrier will scan your vehicle registration on entry, prior to leaving the car park you must attend one of the Pay Stations, enter your vehicle registration, the Pay Station will calculate the amount of time you have stayed in the car park and the parking fee due. When leaving the car park the barrier will scan your vehicle registration and recognise that payment has been made and raise the barrier. In the event that you have forgotten to pay the terminal at the exit barrier will prompt you for the amount due which can be paid via contactless payment at the exit barrier.
Pay Stations Pay Stations are located Level 1 by the entrance to both stairwells and level 2 next to the lifts. All pay stations accept Visa, Mastercard and contactless payment apps such as Apple Pay, Google Pay etc. Cash is not accepted at this car park.
Blue Badge Parking  Blue Badge Holders must display their badge in a clearly visible place on the dashboard. Blue Badge holders are still able to use the car park free of charge. You must enter your vehicle registration at one of the Pay Stations and scan the barcode of your blue badge.
