CSO overflow car park in Mahon

thejuggler

Does anyone know if the CSO overflow car park in Mahon can be used by anyone or if you need a badge/sticker displayed.
I'm working in the area for a few days - was wondering if its ok to leave the car there.

Parking is at a premium around there, id say they have a sticker system in place to stop what you're proposing.

You could just park in Mahon Point car park hassle free and walk towards where youre working.

I'm not sure how the CSO overflow works but you'd be taking a chance going in there, IMO.

What area of Mahon are you working in?

That pleasure costs €100 plus €5 card payment per day. They DO actively clamp cars...

I worked in Tesco for nearly 5 years and didnt once see a car clamped unless it was in a disabled spot thats despite the warnings in the Tesco car park about staying longer than 3 hours at a time, which does happen.

If I had no other option like the OP does, I'd park in the MP overflow and walk to work and take my chances. Theres also a plenty of housing estates in the area without double yellow lines but I wouldnt be to keen on clogging them up.

If you talking about the car park on south side of cso groumds it is a sticker system but there plenty space there at moment so not sure if they actively enforcing it. Also when they do enforce they just put a sticker on your car saying not to park there again so I'd say it worth the chence.

If you're working for Mater then they should be able to give you a Citygate sticker to put on your car. It's actually a Citygate overflow as opposed to a CSO overflow.

Other than that, just park there anyway. As DMGACC said worst case scenario is they put a warning sticker.

I disagree with the suggestion though that there is plenty of space there. It's been full up after 9:30 am consistently for the last month or so, to the point where cars are parking in random spots there. Although now that we're getting into holiday season it might not be as busy.

Do you know who is parking at the yellow spaces in B&Q parking? Was getting a tap this morning and there is loads of cars parked in North-West corner of the car park there... Definitely not customers...

Definitely staff, but they'll clamp you there too if they see you're not working in the retail park.
