Yes, there are a number of designated disabled bays located across the campus. Please see the map of campus for the locations of disabled parking bays including 20 disabled spaces in the multi-storey car park.
Will delivery vehicles be issued with parking charge notices?
All delivery vehicles will receive 40 minutes grace period in the Orange Zone only to allow them time to make their deliveries on campus.
Can I leave my car overnight?
We don’t encourage this for security reasons. Cars left overnight are left entirely at the owner’s risk.

There are several city centre car parks nearby including a council multi-storey just 5 minutes’ walk away. For details please see the Leeds City Council website.
