Busy Periods and Restrictions Near Boldrewood

The APCOA occupancy page lists the Boldrewood car park at 64% full with 101 spaces available when its occupancy result was shown (uos.apcoa.com).
University regulations state that academic-site controls apply from 08:00 to 17:00 unless a vehicle is in the Pay and Display Car Park or Reserved Visitors’ Car Park (calendar-archive.soton.ac.uk). Those restrictions make casual parking on university land unsuitable during the working day.
