PARKING FOR ANGLERS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF EAST ANGLIA

The University has a system for dealing with illegal parking on campus. A Parking Charge Notice (PCN) will be issued to drivers who are not members of the University’s car park permit scheme who breach the University’s car parking rules. These drivers will be liable for a £50 charge, reduced to £30 if paid within fourteen days. Traffic duties will continue to be carried out by UEA Security Team and an outside agency. Illegal parking by registered permit holders (e.g. no permit and/or scratch card displayed) will be dealt with by issuing warnings and infringements which may result in suspension from the UEA car parking scheme.

COSTS AND HOW TO APPLY FOR A PARKING PERMIT

The cost of onsite UEA parking is £4.16 per day. There is however no charge for anglers parking at weekends, and overnight parking between 19.00 to 07.00 weekdays, providing your vehicle is registered with UEA to park on campus. There is now no need to display permits. Your registration number is logged with Transport lodge. Please ensure your registration is valid and not expired.


Parking scratch cards and car parking permits are available from the Transport Lodge on weekdays during opening hours between 08:00 and 17:00. Scratchcard payment is up front via cash or card payment. However, you will be required to complete a direct debit form when you apply for a parking permit.

The University has also adopted an online parking system called RingGo. Users can now download the App and pay online.

The location code for UEA is:

Campus All areas for permit holders                                 62956

You will also see codes for the following areas.

Suffolk road car park (normal anglers parking)                      62950

Main car park                                                                          62952

West car park                                                                         62955

These are for non-permit holders, and you will be charged at non-permit holder prices.

Details on how to download, register and use the app are given here https://myringgo.co.uk/


Parking permits are valid for 12 months from the date of issue so returning anglers will need to check the expiry date and renew their registration at the Lodge.

DO’s

  • Apply at the Transport Lodge in person for a parking permit, by completing a form. Details of your vehicle will be taken by Transport, pending issue of the parking permit.
  • Do return to Transport Lodge (Transport will advise of the likely timescale) to collect the parking permit and purchase your scratch cards.
  • Do display your scratch card when your vehicle is parked on campus. Your scratch card must reveal the relevant day and be displayed on your dashboard so that traffic staff can easily see it. (NOTE: A Scratch card is not required on a Saturday or Sunday or overnight).
  • Do register and pay for your parking via the RingGo app.

DO NOT’s

  • Do not take your vehicle to the Broad.
  • Do not arrange for someone to visit you in their vehicle which they drive to the Broad.
  • Do not allow your tackle to be transported to or from the Broad by yourself or anyone else without prior agreement.

PLEASE NOTE: Any person caught not complying with the above will have their fishing permit withdrawn.
