This is an outline for the new Car Park Management system that will be up and running very shortly.

The new Car Park Management system –
why do we need to do it?

With no permit eligibility criteria, there are currently too many permits being issued for the number of spaces available, which is causing problems for everyone accessing the sites and raising the expectations of permit holders. With the consolidation of the 7 campuses into 3, some spaces will be lost and pressure on spaces will increase. In conjunction with a strong travel plan that will promote alternatives to car travel, the Car Parking Management Strategy will manage demand for the car parks and ensure those who need a space have access to one.

Applying for a parking pass

All members of staff are now invited to apply for a car parking permit for the coming academic year 09/10. Where possible you should submit your permit application online.

Alternatively, a paper copy of the application form can be obtained from Reception areas across the University. All applications should be completed on-line or returned to the Car Parking Office, Facilities, Cavendish First Floor, Manchester between now and Monday 10th July'09.

Please note that all current permits will expire on 30th September, 2009.

For general enquiries and further information please contact the Car Park Office on 0161 247 2989 or e-mail carparkpermits@mmu.ac.uk.
