NHS staff should be exempt from parking charges at their work place.

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

NHS staff will be under excessive pressure over the next few months at a minimum. Many will be working extra shifts.
Public transport will be running at reduced frequency meaning staff will have to drive to work.
It is only fair we suspend parking charges for them to make their lives easier.
