Workplace Parking Levy

Leicester City Council may introduce a Workplace Parking Levy in autumn 2023. Should this come into force then student parking may need to be reconsidered.

This offer is subject to the following pricing and terms and conditions. For any questions or queries please contact: estateshelpdesk@dmu.ac.uk.
