In the case of a second contravention, a Parking Charge Notice will be issued and attached to the windscreen. The price of this charge is £80 (reduced to £40 if the debt is paid promptly within 14 days). For more information, visit the university's Traffic and Parking Regulations.

When changing vehicles, please keep your permit as this can be transferred to your new car. Any permit(s) you have are assigned to you as an individual and can be moved between your registered vehicle(s) as required.

If your permit is white and blue, please contact us on efastaff@aber.ac.uk or 01970 62 1660/1947 with your new registration details and we will be able to update this on your behalf.
