Belfast university students missing lectures with lack of parking

Ronan Campbell, a Law and Politics student from Omagh, highlighted the struggle students from rural communities face commuting to their student accommodation.

“Getting parked is the hardest part because its chock-a-block. You come up on a Sunday evening and its rammed and if you move your car during the week, you’re going to struggle.”

For Siofra Kearney, meanwhile, driving to university is no longer an option due to the lack of parking spaces.

“I get the bus up from Newry. It’s an hour and twenty minute journey, which is longer than it would take me to drive. All because I’m unable to get my car parked or move reliably around the city.

“It’s not a very accessible city for students.”

The department has said there are several car parks and park and ride sites across the city which drivers are encouraged to avail of.
