Fight the French

It's good to have an example of how this can be achieved without a PPC, and with the income going to the Hospital.
That's how it should be, and no bun-fight to park when stressed (either as a staff member or a patient or visitor).pappa_golf wrote: »EDIT : a further crowd funding page has now been set up , this time to raise funds for an appeal

Two very large hospitals just outside Bristol were amalgamated. A new hospital unit was built at Southmead then the nearby former Frenchay hospital was closed and everything moved to the new build.
The problem was there wasn't enough parking at the new facility so the old car park was closed, a park and ride was used from the grounds of Frenchay as well as renting a car park from the local aerospace welfare association.
The old car park was then dug up and a new multistorey was put up.
It was chaos for a while whilst this was done, but the end result is a new hospital and more than adequate parking at the new facility. It's pay and display but all the money goes to the hospital trust to recover the cost of the new car park.
All this is eminently possible at Cardiff; it just needs someone who can think and plan. A lease can be ended early by the landowner especially if the original leaseholder is no longer operating there. Alternatively compulsory recovery of the land by the landowner is possible by using local or national government legislation.
Perhaps the people at Cardiff should talk to the people at Southmead to see how it could and should be done.
but but , the hospital trust gave there full backing for the court caseSave a Rachael

The story has made it all the way to Corbyn and Guido Fawkes

Who in their right mind at the Trust thought this was going to be a quiet local issue?

Unable to find ZZPS handle as of all three companies here - this is the one that needs the focus of anger. They are the ex clampers now undermining POFA with their Notices To Keeper being bandied about by The British Parking Association like letters from GOD! FGS!

Re CrowdFunding
I am aware of three different crowd funds about - the one i started for staff which is
the other one with some of those affected trying and failing to raise funds to cover the costs
and some chaps set up another one but i have no link unfortunately
The money that was collected for Payment - is being kept for that - some staff are petrified and want to pay up and move on - this you can understand to a degree. So it will not be merged with the fight fund
I was not involved so have no say there
What i can say is that the nhsvindigo will go to fight - if it is not used in this fight it will be available to other nhs fights against private parking predators nationally.
Really MIffed with Martin Lewis telling everyone to pay up then appeal etc! how can he not know that paying closes the case and they are not obliged to offer appeal services then!
Any questions you want answered - throw them my way - will give you the truth and nothing but - unlike press releases from the Health Board (they are hilarious) and Indigo (do they know anything at all considering the ZZPS general manager was in court instructing - was the case brought about by ZZPS with Indigo name merely present to tick the box0 -
I have that information
Interesting that is was signed August 1996 for a period of 20 years - references a building agreement that was not put in as evidence0 -
Yes he was referring to the case where a lorry reversing killed a nurse who had stumbled at a kerb - the one with absolutely no mention of parking being partially to blame or at all.
Welsh Minister - you have forever lost my vote, for years we are told politicians lie however never in my wildest dreams did i ever think they would lie about something that can be disproved so easily..
Shame on you and any of your people who helped find this case for you to use as an excuse to get out of helping persecuted staff at the Heath Hospital.
Somebody needs to step up and step in to resolve this - obviously it looks like the welsh assembly has finally shown itself to be the utter waste of funding and space that many of us believed it would be initially.
What would be good - would be all NHS Staff standing together to say NO - NO More - the 16 unions on site were a party to a deal and refuse to help also.
Thank you all for your support with this x much appreciated0 -

The person who was driving the car is responsible so let them deal with it. Not you! Don’t let people with an agenda tell you otherwise.0 -

Thanks. That is useful to know. The deadline for them to respond to my FOI request is tomorrow so we'll see how they respond. They are certainly using up their maximum 20 working days to reply.0
