Car parking at the BioQuarter site has to be paid for at one of the car park machines before you leave.
To avoid parking charges, patients and their families can use public transport, or arrange to be dropped off at the hospital in a drop-off zone. Please do not park in any of the drop-off zones.
Please be aware that the roads around the Little France site are controlled by the local council. Parking on single or double yellow lines may result in a parking ticket issued by local council parking attendants.
Although there is car park security surveillance, please ensure that you lock your car and leave your valuables out of sight.
