Suspend parking charges for NHS staff during corona virus pandemic

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

When NHS staff are being asked to go the extra mile they should not be charged to park their cars at hospital car parks or other places of work.

We are all being asked to make sacrifices. It is unfair to put the burden of paying to attend their places of work on the NHS staff we are expecting to treat and care for us that succumb to the corona virus. We urge the government to make it easy for these key workers to get to work, particularly when they are being called upon to put the public before their own families.
