• ‘even’ registration number plates based on 2nd digit e.g. xx52 xxx. will be allowed access on even days of the month and
• “odd” registration plates e.g. 53 or 05, old style number plates, international or personalised registration plates will be allowed access on odd days of the month.

3. You will be required to stay 2 metres away from other users and Centre staff at all times.

Both Transfer Stations will be open during usual hours.
