Important Notice - Parking
All cars must register within 10 minutes of arriving in the carpark. The cameras register your arrival time as soon as you drive in.
We are having problems with the carpark company and are working to get the cameras removed.
We don't want our customers getting fines and are putting up our own additional signage to improve the inadequate signage the parking company have provided.
