FREE PARKING for NHS staff/private medical professionals.

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

To suspend parking restrictions at hospitals, clinics, GP surgeries, private/public roads in the United Kingdom for NHS staff only so they can travel to work without worry. Free parking should be made available when on duty.
The NHS are over stretched due to intensity and rapid out break of COVID-19. The staff are putting their lives at risk and by helping the staff with free parking this would be one less thing to worry about.
