Multi-storey car parks
You can claim three hours’ free parking at any time of day at our five multi-storey car parks.
- When you are ready to leave, take your Blue Badge to a pay station and follow the instructions
- The machine will scan your badge to ensure it’s valid, and automatically deduct three hours off the parking fee
- If you’ve stayed less than three hours your ticket will be returned to you to allow free exit. Otherwise, pay the fee shown on the screen and your ticket will be returned to you
- Insert your ticket at the exit barrier
Our duty staff is available 24 hours a day to assist you, please press the help button available in every pay stations machine as well as entry and exit machine across the car parks.
