Petition Action

Free parking for parents/guardians of children admitted to Lister Hospital

Petition Details

Parents and guardians that have children admitted to Lister Hospital, Stevenage currently have to pay for parking between 8am and 7.30pm. There should not be a charge for parents staying with their children. This needs to be changed immediately.

Additional Information

Free parking is provided over night between 7.30pm and 8am for parents staying with a child. Parents/guardians then have to pay throughout the day. This is ridiculous and completely unacceptable
