Students already face financial hardship without increasing parking charges from £1.30 to £6 per day, this is an increase of 361.5%! This drastic hike in parking fees places an undue burden on students who are already struggling to make ends meet. Many rely on affordable parking to attend classes and work part-time jobs that help fund their education. The current economic climate has made it even more challenging for students to manage their finances, and such a significant increase in parking costs is simply unaffordable for both students and university staff.

We urge the university to reconsider this decision and scrap the proposed increase in parking charges. Sign this petition if you believe that education should be accessible and affordable for all students.
