Old style parking permits to expire on 28 February – get your new permit today

January 11, 2022

Are you still using your old style parking permit (which has the SWB logo on it)? If so, please note that these permits will be deactivated on Monday 28 February and will no longer give you access to our sites. Please ensure that you apply for, and collect, your new Q-Park permit as soon as possible, if you haven’t already done so. Details of how to apply can be found here How to apply for you parking permit.

Q-Park have commenced installation of the new car park barrier equipment at City with the works expected to take four weeks to complete.

Need to collect your parking permit? New Q-Park barrier parking permit cards are now available to collect for all those who have applied online.

Before coming to collect your permit please ensure you have applied online and have allowed five working days for processing. You will receive a confirmation email once your application has been accepted.

Please ensure you bring a form of ID with you to collect as barrier cards can only be given directly to the applicant. Q-Park will also take in your current NHS barrier card so there is no confusion about which one to use. Q-Park have allocated times for collection at each site seven days a week to ensure they have the resource available to assist.

Note: You cannot collect your permit outside of the hours below. If you do try to collect outside of these hours you will be asked to return at the correct collection times. *Collection times may differ during bank holidays.
