Coronavirus - Allow NHS staff to park for free whilst on duty

What the petition asks

NHS staff are currently working flat out during the coronavirus outbreak, allow them to park for free at hospitals and places of work.

Allow them to park for free whilst on duty, even when this coronavirus has passed.
More and more staff are working flat out during this crisis. Making them pay for their parking whilst they do extra shifts as well as their usual is unacceptable
