We are making some minor temporary changes to the location of accessible parking within Radcliffe Car Park from the 25/01/2023 for the next few months. This is to prevent electric vehicle (EV) owners from occupying accessible bays to charge their electric vehicles without a blue badge. We are in the process of reviewing electric vehicle charging across campus including the quantity and location in this car park but this temporary measure has come from feedback of blue badge holders and EV owners. Temporary signage will be added to state that the accessible bay next to the charger is for EV vehicles including those with a blue badge.

During this temporary period, the other accessible bays will be unaffected. A reminder that blue badge holders can continue to park in this space if they have an EV vehicle and can park in any vehicle space with a blue badge. Should blue badge holders be unable to park in a dedicated bay and have had to position their vehicle in a way that occupies more than one space, please let Radcliffe reception know.

We are excited about the improvements to the overall provision of EV charging and accessible parking provision across campus. This accessible parking bay will be restored as part of this review.
