Do many / any of you have Parking spaces around City Centre EDI? What do you pay PCM? Omni Centre NCP @ £127ish...

Reasonable me thinks.

I was walking by the Harvey nicholls car park yesterday, that seems to be £4/day or £2/day if you have a 'season ticket'..

I walk to work, so doesn't really affect me

Who run their car park? Is it NCP? £4 a day is a steal.

Edit:
Where exactly is it?

So instead of turning left into the St James car park, you continue straight ahead?

If you have a private space in stockbridge, you could amass a small fortune mate.

Do you OWN the space?

Do you have a permit for said space? I presume you use it.

permit?

nope, not required as the spaces are for residents only, it's off street and it requires a key :D

oh, and the spaces are not allocated, you just park wherever there is space

Well if you didnt own a car, you could sell your key for £100+ per month with ease I bet.

it is rather obvious when I leave for work in the morning, lots of people arrive and park there car and when I return home lots of people are leaving.

for some reason I don't think those people live there :roll:
