Between the hours of 16:00 and 08:30 there are no enforcements in this car park.” Disabled drivers should “advise in advance when they’re planning on coming to Campus, we can add them to the online parking system which will cover them for parking on the set day that they come to Campus…. ring the Estates Helpdesk on 01482465084” or e-mail <estateshelpdesk at hull.ac.uk>.
