Change of an Accessible bay at Radcliffe Conference Centre

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.

Map of blue badge spaces on campus

A map of blue badge bays on campus has been added onto our accessibility parking page to indicate where blue badge spaces can be located. This is on Google Maps software. So Blue badge holders can now locate where the nearest accessible space is to their building location.

CP8a - Junction - Emergency Works affecting accessible parking

Due to emergency repairs to a water pipe in the vicinity of the accessible parking bays outside Junction in CP8a, regrettably, it is essential for some of those spaces to be taken out of action for the duration of the works. This is unavoidable due to the location of the broken pipe. During the works, If you need access to accessible parking and these spaces are still closed, you may park considerately on the double yellow lines opposite the bays but a valid blue badge or disability permit must be displayed at all times.

It is anticipated that the works will take place over the next few weeks. Updates will be posted when available.
