Parking Matters (continued)
PERMIT AND PASSHOLDER
OBLIGATIONS
It is the responsibility of all permit and
passholders to:
● Ensure permits and passes are clearly
displayed in the front window of the
relevant vehicle.
● Comply fully with all University parking
rules.
NON-COMPLIANCE WITH
PARKING RULES
Failure to comply with these rules may
result in any or all of the following:
Warning
The University reserves the right to affix a
warning notice to any vehicles in breach
of the rules.
Fixed Penalty Fine
The University reserves the right to affix
a £25 penalty notice to any vehicle which
causes a significant obstruction or hazard
through breach of the rules.
Withdrawal
The University may, for persistent
offenders, withdraw a permit or pass on
a temporary or permanent basis either
from the individual or from the school/
unit concerned.
In addition to the above,
● persistent offenders will be liable
to, as well as the loss of parking rights,
established institutional disciplinary
procedures.
● where access is compromised for
emergency or service vehicles, the
University reserves the right to contact
the police who may remove the vehicle
at the owner’s expense.
● the University also reserves the right
to dispose of vehicles abandoned on
University premises with the owner liable
for the full cost of removal.
APPEALS
Appeals against fixed penalties must be
made in writing to Human Resources
within ten working days of the day the
fixed penalty is issued. If the appeal
is upheld, the fixed penalty will be
withdrawn. If the appeal is lost, the fixed
penalty must be paid within ten days of
the appeal decision. The same process
will apply to appeals against withdrawal
of parking facilities.
NON-PAYMENT OF
FIXED PENALTIES
Non-payment of a fixed penalty by a
member of staff or student will result in
disciplinary procedures being initiated.
Information concerning a violation of any
of the University’s vehicle parking rules
will be recorded and remain on record
for a period of twelve months.
EXPENSES AND
ALLOWANCES
Under University and Inland Revenue
rules, travel to work expenses are
neither reclaimable nor chargeable as an
allowance against taxable earnings.
26
Staff are encouraged to walk, cycle,
use public transport, or University
services/vehicles between University
sites. As a result, public transport costs
will be reimbursed and a cycle mileage
allowance will be provided for intersite
travel, but no other allowances will
be provided for such travel except in
exceptional circumstances.
CHARGES &
PARKING PROVISION
Parking permits and passes are currently
free of charge, but the replacement of
permits and passes will incur a reasonable
administrative charge.
PARKING PROVISION
Parking provision is under review across
the University. In line, however, with its
Environment Strategy, the University will
not, unless obliged to do so, be making
any further provision for parking within
the town centre.
