<strong>Sunderland</strong> City Centre Parking Charges<br />
In addition to monitoring <strong>University</strong> parking charges, this<br />
travel plan update also examines the cost <strong>of</strong> parking at<br />
Council operated city centre car parks in <strong>Sunderland</strong>.<br />
In the past, there has been concern that non permit holders and non visitors to the <strong>University</strong> (i.e.<br />
shoppers and <strong>of</strong>fice workers) have been using pay and display parking in <strong>University</strong> car parks.<br />
This concern started tarted in 2006 when the <strong>University</strong> parking barriers were removed.<br />
The <strong>University</strong> also needs to ensure that parking charges on the campuses are in line with city<br />
charges so as not to displace current users to public car parks in the city.<br />
