REF: 66-2303-223821 - Car Park Charges

Your comment: Free parking for students would encourage better attendance. Or discounted now that charges are being introduced in May.

Our response:

Many thanks for your email.

Parking charges were paused temporarily during the pandemic but were reintroduced some time ago. The only charges that are commencing again from May are for visitors who use the Pay and Display car parks near the Arts Centre. There has been a delay in replacing the machines to accept cards rather than cash, to align with the University being a cashless campus for some time now.

We do pride ourselves on the car park fees being very reasonable and are proud that Aberystwyth University was recently ranked amongst the top 10 cheapest student places in the UK.

The income received for the car parks contributes directly towards helping to maintaining the roads around all University campuses.
