Parking developments at our hospitals
20 January 2026
We’ve got a few changes coming up across our sites in the next few weeks We’ll keep you updated as best we can
If you ’ re travelling in, please use the Park & Ride wherever possible It’s still the easiest way to get to work and helps keep things running smoothly for everyone
Solar canopy works at PRH
We are preparing the PRH site to start work on our solar panel car park canopy – following funding received from Great British Energy Please be aware that from 6pm on Friday 23 January the top deck of the staff car park near the Women and Children’s centre will close for initial works Work will then take place in phases from Monday 26 January – throughout the course of installation different sections of the car park will be closed Once work is complete in March and the canopy has been installed, all spaces will be reinstated on the top deck car park
To support this work, we are creating additional gravel spaces for colleagues near the Ironbridge Suite (Shown in red on the map above) We expect all these spaces to be complete by the beginning of February, with some being available by the end of January
Long-term investment at RSH
We know that parking continues to be a concern for colleagues, particularly with the large volume of construction currently underway at RSH Long term we are working on a number of solutions to improve this and maximise our estate as much as possible This includes: Opening a near-by offsite car park on Mytton Oak Road with a mixture of staff and contractor parking, providing approximately 200 additional spaces Working to open 80 spaces at the front of the site near the Copthorne building in Spring for staff
In the coming months, we will also be demolishing some of our older estate near Stretton House to make more car parking space which will provide 60 additional spaces
