Car Parking

Apparently at the main Parkgate campus, you aren't allowed to park on-site without a disabled pass, I was wondering if anyone knows if this is true and if so where around the campus you can park because I look for at least an hour today and couldn't find anywhere that wasn't permit only.

I'm going to make an educated guess and say you're referring to the University of Chester (this was originally posted in the generic uni subforum). I'll ask for the thread to be moved, as you'll probably have more luck in the dedicated Chester uni forum.

If you're living in halls, the no, you can't park on campus as uni won't issue a permit. If you don't live in halls, you can apply for a parking permit and therefore can park on campus (even not disabled!).
A very quick Google search has come up with this https://en.parkopedia.co.uk/parking/school/university-of-chester/?arriving=202009071700&leaving=202009071900 which is local car parks. I live 5 mins walk from Parkgate Rd campus and can tell you that not everywhere is permit only, the massive (student dominated) estate next to it has street parking however it's really difficult during term time to find a parking space, and that's just for the residents!
