Car parking It is an important condition of your Licence to Occupy that you must not bring a car to University or park in nearby residential areas at any time if you live on the Frenchay Campus. There is no suitable alternative parking nearby and we actively work with the council, police and local residents to ensure students do not park on nearby streets in order to minimise nuisance and inconvenience to residents and to promote good community relations with our neighbours. The University does however provide priority parking for blue badge holders.
Visitors parking A new service is in place for visitors to students living in Frenchay Campus accommodation. Users will be sent a temporary permission to park pass to print and display in advance (only required 09:00 to 16:00 Monday to Friday). Passes can be arranged by e-mailing
