Parking
While there are facilities along George Street and South Castle

is not recommended that visitors use the parking bays outside
the offices if they are likely to be staying for a long time.
Traffic wardens operate in the area at all times and fines for
expired tickets are hefty. Parking costs are 45p for every 15
minutes, up to a maximum of three hours (£5.40). Charges
apply from 8.30am to 6.30pm. There are a number of longer term
parking facilities within a 20 minute walk of the offices. These
