The front and west car parks are for students and visitors.  Due to great demand, car parking is limited. A pay and display system is in operation between 7am and 10pm. The car park is available for public use at weekends, at a cost of £2 per day. Student parking is £1 per day and all students will also need to display a student permit, issued at enrolment.
