Car parking frequently asked questions
During the current building works the drop off bays have been relocated in the Main entrance car park, this is an ANPR camera and the drop off only bays will be limited to 30 minutes only.
Depending on the part of the site you are visiting you may need to leave the site via the main entrance onto Medina Way and re-enter from Dodnor Lane or vice versa.
Arrangements have been made with the nursery for this. Parents and those caring for children who use the nursery should be unaffected by these changes. The ANPR system allows a reasonable period of time for people to drop off and collect their children.
ANPR is used to improve our management of traffic and car parking on the St. Mary’s Hospital site. This is the only purpose for which collection of number plate data will be used.
Details can be found on and next to the pay machines in the car parks. You can also call 0345 434 8008 and pay over the telephone. The location code for the St Mary’s site is 2053. Details are also available at www.
ANPR will search for the number plate on any vehicle. If the mobility vehicle has a number plate it will recognise that and register the number. Mobility vehicles that do not have a number plate are not affected.
No, you don't get charged if you can't find a space to park but our advice is to contact the parking team. There are call points in the car parks and they can advise you where there may be parking spaces. The ANPR system allows a reasonable period of time for people to find a parking space.
