Due to a technical issue for colleagues using some of our car parks being unable to enter their arrival last week, we delayed the reintroduction of charges on 7 May to enable the issue to be resolved by APCOA, our Automatic Number Plate Recognition supplier. This has now been resolved and Parking charges will now be re-introduced from today, Monday 12 May.
How to pay for parking:
Please note that for parking either in ANPR or QR controlled spaces, colleagues do need to have signed up to the APCOA system. Payments will be debited from your account, usually within 24 hours.
- ANPR Controlled car parks: For colleagues who park in our larger car parks (at South Broadlands, Hamptons, Physics, Boldrewood, Avenue, wellbeing and WSA), these payments will be taken automatically. If you have already loaded your payment details onto the APCOA portal, no further action is needed.
QR Code payment controlled car parks: For some parking areas, mostly where there is a small group of parking bays, a further action of submitting?payment through a QR code will be required?each time you park in these locations. There is physical signage in these parking areas displaying the QR code. Once you have scanned this it will take you to the APCOA parking portal for you to sign in. Please use the shorter version of your staff email and ensure your card details are registered in advance, you will not be able to add them on the day.
All our car parks and whether they can be paid for via using QR codes or automatically by ANPR are labelled on our campus map. If you are unsure, please check the map or look for signage indicating the requirement of QR code payments.
Please note that car parking charges do not apply to Grade 1a/1b staff, Essential Car Users, Blue Badge holders or staff who travel to work by motorcycle.
Colleagues may see ‘expired permit’ when in the “view my permit section” for daily payments, please be reassured if you have added your payment details there is no action required and the permit is active.
We apologise for any confusion or concern caused by the recent changes and thank colleagues for their patience. Below is a reminder of the daily payment details.
