Update on changes to purple zone parking RSH
23 May 2025
From Tuesday 27 May there will be a reduction to the number of spaces available in the purple zone car park, this is to allow work to begin on the new Modular Wards (see pic)
We will have a reduction in space in the short term, but these spaces may return at a later date.
We have reviewed the data from the cameras and there is a high proportion of vehicles parked in these spaces all day arriving and leaving within the times of the Park & Ride Service Colleagues on twilight shifts who need a physical permit to park are often using photocopied permits or not displaying a permit at all
Due to this we need to ensure that these spaces are being used correctly and that anyone who can use the Park & Ride, does so:
Clinical cross-site/on call colleagues should only use this parking area when necessary for them to get into the hospital quickly or who work cross site during the day for emergency purposes– otherwise the Park & Ride or other car parks should be used
There should be very few twilight shift colleagues requiring this parking now that the Park & Ride service operates between 6 20am and 9 25pm
With effect from Monday 26 May 2025 staff will not be able to park in this area before 9am
There will no longer be permits in departments for twilight shift workers Instead there will be permits available in the car park cabin for daily parking on a “first come first served” basis
When you give your vehicle registration number to the car park attendant they will put you on the exemption list for the day. Parking in this area without being on the exemption list will incur a Parking Charge Notice (PCN)
At the end of the day you must return the permit to the cabin (out of hours if cabin is closed please slip under the cabin door)
Failure to return the permit could result in access being refused in the future
Any colleagues parking in the purple zone without displaying a permit may receive a PCN
Car share parking spaces at PRH
The trust has allocated eight car sharing spaces at the PRH
Over the last year 200 new staff have joined the Trust’s liftshare app, which makes it easier for staff to connect to potential lifts It’s free to join up - https://sath liftshare com/default asp
To park in a car share space, you must show at least two car-share permits on your dashboard, to indicate you are car sharing Failure to show two permits will result in a Parking Charge Notice (PCN) Please email sath greenertravels@nhs net to obtain a car share permit
