Advice re finding free parking in Wythenshawe town centre

Hello, I need advice regarding finding a free car parking around Etrop court offices in Wythenshawe. I understood that there is a 2 hour limit to park at Etrop court itself but I need to park for longer than that. Would be grateful if someone can advise. Thanks

    Perhaps, someone from that area could give some advice? It seems as there is no free parking in the town centre. I looked at some streets nearby but how safe is to park there?

    Unfortunately, N. Martin doesn't post here ( although i believe he is familiar with very car park in the country)

    If youve been offered/got a job there then well done, if your after parking advice then you might be better off asking for recommendations from your employers and colleagues .
    As previous, take a look at the parkopedia site, and couple that with google earth/streetview Also if you can do a dummy run before your employment starts that would help. You may be able to park in the street somewhere however if you go there on a non working day/out of hours the parking situation may be completely different so take a look before to avoid any surprises.

    another option to consider would be parking in another place/location where you may be able to park for free- ie on street in a non controlled area and catching the bus for the last hop

    I will also need a car during my working hours as I will be going on visits, attending meetings etc. I think I will end up parking on the streets but I would be worrying about safety of my car in that area.
