Permit Areas and Event-Day Enforcement Around Oxford Road

The BBC venue guide places the NCP car park on the North East corner of the campus, just off the campus roads, providing a named alternative to the restricted areas (bbc.co.uk).
The University of Manchester describes its five campus car parks as a mixture of permit and public parking, with access hours of 0600 – 2400, 7 days per week (estates.manchester.ac.uk). The distinction matters most on event days, when a busy arrival can bring drivers towards permit-only entrances around the Oxford Road campus.
