 1. How many parking spaces do you have available to students on campus?

o There are no parking spaces allocated to students only on campus.
However, there are 33 ambulant student spaces available for students

o Please refer to our response to question 1. Student ambulant parking

 4. Are the parking spaces at the university campus secured at night and
at weekends? If so, how?

o It is the view of the University that providing information relating
to campus security could adversely affect the security of the
University premises, staff and students. Supplying the campus parking
security information could enable misuse of this information and put
the University at risk. Having considered the public interest, our
decision is therefore to withhold the information and exemptions under
sections 31(1)(a) (prevention or detection of crime) and 31(2)(g) (the
purpose of protecting the property of charities from loss or
misapplication) are being applied.

 

 5. If there is parking available at the student halls of residence, what
are the parking charges? Please list all residences parking charges if
there are differences in pricing.

o Not applicable.

 

 6. Are the parking spaces at the halls of residence secured at night and
at weekends? If so, how?

o Not applicable.

 

 7. If students require parking permits to park at their halls of
residence or on campus, how much do these cost?

o Not applicable.

 

 8. If you do have permits or parking charges both at campus and halls of
residence, how many parking fines have been issued to students over
the past 5 years?

o Parking fines / Parking Charge Notice (PCN) are issued by the
University’s contracted enforcement agency and it has the
responsibility of the collection of fines. The University does not
hold the data.
