Is there parking?
There is a public car park on site.  The first two hours are free of charge to enable Heights' customers to use the centre without being charged any additional money.  You must obtain a ticket from the ticket machine even if you're parking for less than two hours or arriving before 8am.  If you're spending longer than the two hours at The Heights, you can obtain a 'third hour free' ticket from staff at reception.  You must display this ticket with your parking machine ticket.  This additional ticket will expire one hour after the time shown on your two-hour ticket.  Failure to comply could lead to a penalty charge notice.

Which bus will get me there?
Routes 2, 3 and 8 stop right outside.
