A new Parking system has been installed at Crofton Halls

Parking notices have been erected. Drivers using the car park must enter their vehicle registration within 15 minutes of arrival and will then be allowed to park for up to 3 hours without charge. Failure to do so will result in a £100 fine. This applies to disabled parking too. We have been advised that anyone dropping off or picking up will be ok so long as they don't spend 15 minutes inside the car parking area.
You will be able to enter your vehicle registration on either of 2 devices located in main reception or on your phone using a QR code which will be displayed in reception.
