What the petition asks
The hospital parking arrangements need a radical overhaul and by now I would have thought enough funds would have been raised to pay for two multi storey car parks! Although lack of disabled spaces is an issue the situation is not improved for the able bodied either
I am increasingly frustrated with the parking facilities.
My severely disabled daughter and I have attended WSH for 23 years and each time we visit it becomes worse.
I saw a car about to leave a space at the front and indicated I wanted the spot . An ambulance was behind and I had to move on. I couldn't pull over anywhere along the front as taxis and transport ambulances were blocking the entire frontage
Previously I parked at the rear and couldn't get my token validated so I had to leave my daughter alone.
