Car parks: pay-as-you-go hourly rates to increase
27 Jul 2022
The changes will be implemented from 1 September 2022
From 1 September 2022, pay-as-you-go hourly rates for colleagues using University-managed car parks will increase by an average of 3%.
For this year, the increase will only impact the hourly rates for those on grades 5 and above.
Inflation in the UK has risen significantly in the last few months and is currently around 9.5%. A small increase in our parking charges is necessary to keep pace with this.
The hourly parking rates will change as below:
| Grade | Current hourly rate | Hourly rate from 1 Sep 2022 |
| 1 and 2 | £0.10 | £0.10 |
| 3 and 4 | £0.15 | £0.15 |
| 5 | £0.20 | £0.21 |
| 6 | £0.25 | £0.26 |
| 7 | £0.30 | £0.31 |
| 8 | £0.35 | £0.36 |
| 9 | £0.45 | £0.46 |
The reduced rates for those who qualify for a ULEV discount will be:
| Grade | Current hourly rate | Hourly rate from 1 Sep 2022 |
| 1 and 2 | £0.05 | £0.05 |
| 3 and 4 | £0.07 | £0.07 |
| 5 | £0.10 | £0.11 |
| 6 | £0.12 | £0.13 |
| 7 | £0.15 | £0.16 |
| 8 | £0.17 | £0.18 |
| 9 | £0.22 | £0.23 |
We continually review our car parking charges and may need to introduce further increases in future, to account for continuing inflation. We will keep colleagues updated and provide full details in advance of any future changes.
