I don't believe anyone anywhere should pay for hospital parking, Joan, and I feel heartily sorry for residents around hospitals.

Our local authority has devised schemes to help surrounding residents but has done nothing to open up its own huge car park to assist drivers visiting the hospital just across the road. It stands empty every evening. Only cost may prevent underground and rooftop parking on hospital sites but as the population rises it may be something to factor in to building estimates.

At least you can park in hospital car parks now. at St Richards in Chichester, before the imposition of parking charges, people would park there rather than pay to park in the Festival Theatre car park when they went to work or played in the squash club so that patients had nowhere to park or had to use the Festival Theatre car park up the road.

Were my ears deceiving me this morning when I heard that hospital parking in England still has to be paid for while in Wales and Scotland there is no charge?

What is the equal rights brigade doing about that anomaly?
