I have a friend at work who lives at West One and has just got a car but doesn't want to pay £70 a month to park at West One, anyone got any suggestions?

That's only just over £2 a day, and should be secure. I don't think you'll find anything any cheaper.

Oh, and in true SF style-ee, I could suggest either a) sell it, or b) move house :)

£70 is very cheep for secure parking ! There is no where else you can park anyway..so i would bite the bullet and pay up.:P

Take the number plates off your car every night so they can't give you a ticket.
Or bribe the cerpark attendant in Waitrose so he overlooks your car. Or bribe all the traffic wardens in town. Or get a motorbike.
Or be prepaired to walk 10 mins to your car.
Or move!
Can't think of many other options..

perhaps this should have been asked before he bought the car or am i just being sarcastic.

We used to live at Royal Plaza and to save money on parking, my boyfriend used to park his car as close as he could where it was free.

This was a 15min walk to Collegiate Crescent (which is now residents parking only) which kind of defeated the point of living in such a handy location in the first place!

Then the car was stolen!

My advice is, pay the £70!
