Parking:
There is major building work taking place at the college this year. As a result, on-site parking this year is at the rear of the college so please use the entrance at the end of Tennyson Road. Satnav SO50 5ZA will take you to this entrance. Please note that there is currently no vehicular access from the Chestnut Avenue entrance to the rear of the college due to the building work.
Disabled parking will still be at the front of the college via the Chestnut Avenue entrance, use SO50 5BX for satnav.
Despite the additional parking that has been provided at the college in recent years, we recognise that there will still be insufficient spaces, particularly on Saturday.
To assist with street parking, please note the following:
- The long lay-by in Chestnut Avenue is free and unrestricted at weekends.
- Street parking in the roads on the south (Southampton) side of Chestnut Avenue is not subject to restrictions on Saturday or Sunday.
- Street parking in the roads to the north (Eastleigh town side) of the College is restricted on Saturday, but are mostly unrestricted on Sunday.
As always please park safely and legally.
