On reserve parking
Visitors may try to park at the reserve, but we cannot guarantee availability as space is limited. We will increase the number of spaces reserved for Blue Badge holders, but please be aware that these will be standard sized spaces and the surface is uneven. We are looking into using a system to notify visitors when the reserve car park is full, but using the offsite parking and free travel is recommended.
