    Keep in mind that a lot of people would be delighted if their parking costs whilst working were only just over £3 a week.

    Yes, in an ideal world we would all like to live within a short walk of work or, failing that, be able to park for free however........

    As I said earlier, all you can do is see if your union can put any pressure on the hospital but there are no legal rights to fall back on.

    £180 per year? £15 per month?

    Sorry but I think that is more than reasonable.

    So, how does that price compare to daily parking for members of the public!

    BARGAIN

    Not sure what your beef is less than £1.50 a shift do a few extra and you could get it down to under £1.00.

    Because all the other (fruitless/ frivolous) complaints have been done to death? ;)

    I couldn't possibly comment after getting previous comments removed about the OP's posting history on minor issues.

    Good grief - that has to be less than bus fairs to and from work even when the run. You don't know when you are well off - I thought my parking was reasonable, and I pay £30 a week. I could only wish for £180 a year. I think you need to consider redefining what you think a concession is, because by any standard applicable in the real world, you have a damn good concession on parking.

    With people paying up to £5k a year, and more in some cases, in order to get crowded and uncomfortable trains and tube to work I don't think you have much to complain about. It sounds like you have a massively reduced fee there and are paying less a week tgan most pay to park for a few hours.
    Don't listen to me, I'm no expert!
