ISW PARKING Please find enclosed a parking sticker for your car. As ISW has continued to grow, our allotted parking spaces have become a premium. Often, visitors or non-ISW cars are parked in our spaces resulting in overcrowding.

We ask you to display your parking sticker so that we can distinguish between cars that are authorised and those that are not.

This will allow us to monitor and manage the parking area.

Should you need additional stickers, please contact the office.
