Isn'it About Time

[TWR]

we all signed up to help the Hospital Staff / Nurses & show our disgust about Hospital parking charges, does anyone else pay a charge on their employee's Property to do their work, there is a site, where you can start a petition.

[Jackdaw33]

I agree. Charges should only be levied on patients/visitors. All employees should be exempt.

[Islay]

A lot of civil servants now have to pay parking where it used to be free, will the petition cover them too?

[NoMercy]

I work in a hospital and pay £20 per month for a staff parking permit, which I'm happy to pay.

>>> does anyone else pay a charge on their employee's Property to do their work

More and more will. Nottingham already operates a 'workplace parking levy', whereby employers have to pay £250 per year for each staff parking place on their sites. They're free to pass the charge onto their employees (and many do). Plans are already well advanced for Oxford and Cambridge to do the same. Exeter and Milton Keynes might be the next to follow.

This post is about hospital Staff.

You asked a question about whether non-NHS staff have to pay car parking charges at work. I answered it.

// does anyone else pay a charge on their employee's Property to do their work//
You asked about other staff in other employments - we answered it!

[TWR]

Try again, should Hospital Staff / Nurses pay to park where they work,

[Islay]

Yes

[tiggerblue10]

We don't get charged for parking but then again parking where I work is primarily only for disabled staff. I used to be able to park there but my permit was taken away along with many others.

[gingejbee]

Yes, TWR...keep changing the question until you get the answer you want...that's the way to do it.

[NoMercy]

I park on a staff multi-storey which regularly gets treated like a racing track and gets all the usual wear and tear you would expect. My monthly charge helps pay to maintain this place where I can safely park my car at work each day and not have to worry about theft or damage.

Start your petition then, TWR.

[Traci66]

In York City center there are very few places available to park so we have to pay for a permit or use the ridiculously over charged car parks.

[TWR]

Very nice of some of you to think of nurses that way.

///there is a site, where you can start a petition///

Give us a proper Link to it TWR or start one yourself and we'll sign it.

They do a job - they get reasonably well paid - they're not some sort of Saintly Figures - most people who work in towns/cities have to pay to park for work - why should nurses be any different?

[ obviously I do support initiatives with subsidised parking or shuttle buses to make them safe when working anti-social shifts ]
