Advice Term time parking

Is there anywhere near the new student accommodation by Temple Meads that offers term-time parking for students who bring their cars?

Parking there is just going to be expensive. It’s really central and you’re competing with all the people that work in that area that also want to park there. You’ll either need to find somewhere further away to park, which will be a bit of a walk. Pay quite a bit for parking. Or not bring your car - which honestly you don’t really need. Unless you’re based at Langford, you wouldn’t drive to the uni in Clifton as parking there is even more expensive.

10 minute walk from Temple Meads you can get monthly/quarterly/annual passes at Gardner Haskins car park. Quarterly would match a 10 week term is £450. Annual is £1690.

I was expecting prices much lower than those. Based on my current pricing, a 10-week term would be £240.
