Immediately suspend pay for parking at hospitals.

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

I understand the need for parking control in the normal scheme of things, but today the only people parking in hospital car parks are hardworking nhs staff, and people visiting those sick with Coronavirus or other chronic conditions.

The staff trying to save our lives, working harder than ever before should not be further disadvantaged by having to pay for parking. Also they must be safer travelling to work by car than using public transport.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Since you started this petition, the Government have announced that they will provide free car parking for all NHS and social care staff. You can read more about this here: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/government-to-provide-free-car-parking-for-nhs-and-social-care-staff
