    I'm an NHS doctor and have been in exactly the same position as you, on multiple occasions. Every time, I emailed and followed up (politely!) with the person who manages the parking for the trust, and it was always cancelled. I've heard that if you try and reason with the parking company you won't get anywhere.

    I don't know about you, but for me it was always if I was working a weekend or had a long overnight shift, or had to come in to work at 'holy crap does this hour even exist? o'clock'. It just makes your day that little bit worse, and I don't see why there can't be a system of checking number plates before issuing that annoying sticky yellow parcel of doom.

    Please don't give in without a fight - if it wasn't for us NHS workers there wouldn't be a point in having the hospital there or a parking service in the first place!

    There is no place for common sense in PPC land, as it's not profitable.
  • Redx,
    I have read the template letter, but I'm a bit concerned about the termination of contract part.
    As I pay monthly to park at work, would I be jeopardising my right to continue parking there if I include this part of the letter?

    if you want legal or contractual advice , see a solicitor , I am sure your union provides free access to one ;)
