Watermans Announces its Parking System
Pay and Display with discounts for Friends
As we announced earlier this year we shall be giving the car park a refresh during January and from Monday 4 February we have contracted with a company to provide daily visits by security staff. There is however a price to pay for this and PAY & DISPLAY machines will be installed. Charges will be kept as low as possible and we have introduced a special all-inclusive annual rate for our FRIENDS (even more reason to remain a FRIEND) This will make it easier for our customers to find a parking space, help us to keep the car-park safer and clean and tidy and remove cars that have been abandoned more quickly.
Payment will be by cash in the machine or by phone. Machines will be located on both of the lower parking levels, but not on the top level. Charges are as follows:
- 1st hour free
- Every subsequent hour £1.
- Maximum in day £5 (7am - 7pm)
- Overnight parking £3 (7pm - 7am)
- Blue Badge holders park for free if they park in one of the designated spaces and show their badge
- Motorcycles are free if parked off the car-park or in one of the designated areas
- FRIENDS will be able to buy a permit, valid for the duration of their FRIENDS membership for £10 from Watermans Box Office. This means that new FRIENDS will be entitled to a permit that will last a year. Existing FRIENDS will be entitled to a permit valid until their next renewal date.
We will notify you as soon as these are available to buy. Permits must be collected in person and will be limited to one per household. The Pay & Display will apply to the whole car-park including the upper roadside level. People who do not show a valid car parking ticket, or who are not registered as having paid by phone or who do not display a valid permit, run the risk of receiving a parking fine (£90, reduced to £50 if paid quickly). We are using an outside company to run this so we cannot give people dispensation to break the rules. So please do not ask.
We hope you will see the benefits of this fairly soon and continue to support Watermans.
