PARKING

Story from nhs.uk

"PARKING"

About: The James Cook University Hospital / Plastic surgery

Parking is a Joke there is not enough parking spaces for the size of the hospital. If you are unfortunate enough to have to park in V1 car park be prepared for a route march to the South entrance. This is also not suitable for anyone who is not able to walk very far but dose not qualify for a disable badge. My brother aged 69 had to stop a number of times and sit on anything he could find to rest this also happened one very wet day.

Another problem is anyone who is distressed arrives at the car park then when leaving dose not realize you have to pay for parking before you leave the building. There should be more prominent notices reminding people to pay for parking before leaving the building these could be in the lifts and also on the entrance/exit doors.
