Make hospital parking free to NHS staff during the coronavirus outbreak

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Hospital parking can be very expensive, including for staff. Some people can bike to work and others use public transport. However, public transport is a risk at the moment, and services are reducing.

If hospital parking fees are suspended during the coronavirus outbreak then it will help key workers to be where they need to be, and to stay healthy.
