EV Charging
We have four EV Charging Spaces on -2, next to our Blue Badge spaces. The EV charging speed is a min 11kWh / max 22kWh. If you have a hybrid, or another car which has reduced capacity, it will charge at the rate your car will expect.
Payment will be taken at the EV Charging points, by card or mobile wallet. A pending payment will be held on your bank account, then you will be charged for only what you have used.
Price: 45p/kWh
Once your car is fully charged, there is a two hour grace period to move your vehicle. After that point there is a £5 hourly standing charge.
Parking charges will still apply in addition to any EV charging costs.
No Overnight Parking
There is a £40 penalty charge for cars left after the car park is locked at midnight.
Payment
We are a ticketless car park. When you arrive at The Forum car park wait for the barrier to rise, drive through and park. When you are ready to leave, go to one of our pay machines to enter your registration and pay, then drive to the exit where the barriers will raise automatically.
Pay-on-foot machines which accept cash and cards (including contactless) can be found on Level -1, Level -2 and Level -3
Customer Services
Our helpful customer services team are available throughout the Car Park opening hours. If you need any help, you can find them inside the building on the ground floor, to the right when facing the library.
