They helped Boris to recover, they helped 1000's to recover, a bomb has been dropped on NHS workers.

Fury over 'utterly disgusting' decision to stop free hospital parking for NHS workers once the Covid-19 outbreak is over

And here we see a PARKING EYE sign warning NHS staff it will cost them £100 just for saving lives

This is all part of what stakeholders do

That's f**king filthy. 

So much for clapping for the NHS every Thursday. What are they supposed to do - clap the fines away?

It's a disgrace, friend of mine pays £6 to park a DAY - and it must be in £1 coins!   Fortunately (relatively) she's in the same band as I, and all the band members save our £1 coins for her (I've got over £60!)

They are not being fined anything.  It is an invoice from a PPC and only needs to be paid if a judge says so.

WRT to NHS staff having to pay for parking, what is wrong with that, tinkers tailors and candle stick makers all have yo pay.  When i worked in Downing Street parking, would have cost me about £30 a day.

I doubt many who work in central London hospitals need to drive to their place of work.

The majority of hospitals outside of London have woeful public transport links.

He went to a Central London hospital - hardly any of them have any parking worth speaking of for either staff or patients

Regardless where Boris went, hospital parking charges are universal in England and so are the NHS staff

I agree.  I think that iy is perfectly reasonable to charge staff to park at their place of work.

Be good Sir Dance ..... do you really believe what you have said or is it the Blue Nun talking.

What did you do in Downing Street, looking after that cat I bet

I firmly believe it.   I have worked in jusr as dangerous places as NHS hospitals.  I heard gunfire on morning in Dhaka, looked out of my window to see a tank go past.  In Dar es Salaam my house was protected by razor wire and there was an armed guard outside.  In Lagos I spent a wwk shredding documents as we feared the office would be attacked by a mob.

I would much prefer the NHS staff be given a proper pay raise something like 10% for all of their hard work.
Getting FREE NHS parking is not going to help them elevate from the struggle that they live under.
All those foreign NHS workers (and husbands, wives, children)  from the cleaners upwards should be given automatic British Citizenship.
Lastly, all the NHS workers should be given FREE counseling for the rest of their natural life because they are going to need it when this pandemic is over.  They are going to ave some serious mental health issues - free parking for a couple of pounds pales insignificance to the greater issues that the NHS staff both foreign and British will be enduring for years.
That to me is far better compensation for their serves during this pandemic.
