Temporarily closure of the accessible bays by Engineering (Science Block F)
The accessible parking bays near Engineering (Science Block F) will be temporarily unavailable from 9th April to 20th April to allow essential roofing works to take place.
We recognise that these bays are important for many of our community. Unfortunately, due to the nature of the works and associated health and safety requirements, the bays will need to remain closed for the duration of this period. We will continue to work closely with the contractor and will look to reopen the bays earlier where it is safe and possible to do so.
Blue Badge holders are encouraged to use the service vehicle area adjacent to the existing accessible bays near Science Block A, where possible.
We understand this may cause inconvenience and appreciate your patience while these essential works are carried out.
If you require any additional support or would like to discuss alternative arrangements, please contact the Transport & Mobility teamLink opens in a new window.
