Parking FAQs

What if I am late back and have not paid enough fee at the machine?

  • You can re-enter your car registration details and pay any additional fee due.
  • Paying though Hozah Autopay will account for your arrival and leave time and using this option, you would not have to use the pay machine.

Can Shropshire Wildlife Trust members receive free parking?

Unfortunately we cannot offer free parking to SWT members as this has wider tax and GiftAid implications for the Trust.

HMRC considers car parking a VAT-able member benefit. therefore, if a member benefitsfrom the car park free of charge, we lose Gift Aid on the entire membership income and would need to pay VAT on each individual visit.

How is the Wrekin car park owned and managed?

The Wrekin's Forest Glen car park is owned by Shropshire Wildlife Trust. 

The funds from parking fees pay for upkeep of the Forest Glen car park and other sites owned by SWT.

Hozah was selected to manage the car park after a detailed tender process and was selected due to their commitment to minimising fines, high quality management standards e.g. Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) and membership to the British Parking Association and the International Parking Community.
