    I saw something in a newspaper about the 'free parking' being twisted  to 'free parking between certain hours for certain groups'.  You can imagine how complicated the PPCs will make those signs and the mechanism to claim the exemption. 

    Are shift workers meant to leave the Hospital to go and make a payment because it's gone 6pm or whatever and they've been there all day free, but haven't finished work yet?

    Is someone sitting with thir dying loved one, supposed to look at their watch then leave to get change and pay after x hours?  It will be diabolical because no-one from a campaigner knowledge POV is being consulted.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    From the Conservative Manifesto 2019 
     We will end unfair hospital car parking charges by making parking free for those in greatest need, including disabled people, frequent outpatient attenders, parents of sick children staying overnight and staff working night shifts. This will eliminate costs for those in need, while making sure there are enough spaces for everyone.

    I wonder what the  POPLA assessor would think when lying on an operating table in that same hospital to be told by the theatre nurse that "the surgeon's skill with the scalpel is generally accurate!"
    "...generally accurate... oh and Mr POPLA Assessor, I think your parking time's expired, hopefully that's not a sign of things to come."  :lol:
