    Knutsford

    "The suggestion from Barclays is that all [third party suppliers] should park along the country lanes around the site or alternatively park in the town of Knutsford and get the bus to site," said a source.

    Barclays warns freelance techies of DOUBLE DIGIT rate cut

    Too right - those 911 Turbos should be well hidden from sight as otherwise visitors will curse those filthy rich bankers

    Parking was an utter nightmare when I was there. Far far too few car parking spaces to peoplel. Was ok in summer, cars parked on every available bit of grass you could find. Once it started raining it was utter mayhem, everything torn up, cars stranded in mud etc I am surprised it's taken this long before making this call tbh.

      I never had a problem. That said though I was in the office at 7:00.

        Hey, I used to work there about 200 years ago.

        Maybe King Arfur could get out and do those bankers, Alderley Edge is almost next door. Wilmslow could lend a hand.

          There you go. I was a 9.30 starter and it was utter chaos.

              You should have seen it recently then. Those were the good old days when you were there (assuming it was before 2013). Everybody I know said they had never seen it so bad ever before since summer of last year. I used to comfortably get a space at 9:15pm. By September 2013 I needed to get in 8:45pm to get a space.

              Also they are not stopping all contractors parking onsite - only MSPs
