After 4:30 pm all car parks within the campus are available for free parking via a barrier which requires alerting security on entry, via a button at the barrier. The nearest car park is on the east side of the Queens building on Hoffmans Way but this is often full by 7:00 pm. A good alternative is the student village which has 84 spaces reached from Bishops Hall Lane and Ransomes Way. For those who are prepared for a short walk there is the Tindal Building car park with 63 spaces reached from Alan Cherry Drive. Avoid the Rivermead Gate shopper’s car park which is limited to one hour and is not part of the campus. All of these car parks are shown on the Chelmsford Campus map:
