Statement: Disabled parking comment
22/09/2008
Following the article Grieving mum clamped at GRH (Citizen 22nd September 2008)
Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Director of Property and Medical Engineering Graham Marsh said:
“As in the town centre, if you park in a disabled space at the hospital and you are not entitled to do so your car will be clamped. The Trust maintains a zero tolerance attitude to illegal parking.
“Our medical staff do not have the authority to allow patients to park in disabled spaces.
“On this occasion, Trust management agreed to waive the release fee and recall the clamping firm immediately after speaking to Mr Potter.
“This is not standard procedure for the Trust and we would discourage anyone who does not hold a disabled badge from parking in disabled bays at the hospital”.
