Car park changes at PRH
Work is currently under way to create dedicated staff and patient & visitor zones at Princess Royal Hospital (PRH) As part of this work, the front car park at PRH will be prioritised for patients and visitors, while staff parking provision will be protected and increased through the zones and creation of additional staff parking areas
Around 80 additional staff spaces have been created behind the Ironbridge suite
Zoning the car parks in this way also allows us to better understand how parking is being used, so we can review demand, traffic flow and car park usage
The signage is currently being changed Unfortunately there are some errors with the new signage and we apologise for any confusion Any changes will not come into effect until midJune Staff and patients will be notified when the work is complete and given notice before enforcements come into place
Did you know?
There are currently the following spaces available at PRH: Patient spaces 380, Staff spaces 970, Patient and staff blue badge spaces 32, Park & Ride spaces at AFC Telford 50
As part of the Trust’s green plan, we actively encourage our staff to use alternative methods of travel such as walking or cycling to work, car share and public transport
We have partnered with Arriva to provide a free Park & Ride to PRH for staff which uses the existing No4 bus and a free car park at AFC Telford
Staff can board the Arriva bus at any point along its route, making it an ideal alternative for staff living in the area

Lift sharing - passengers must be in the car when parking
Lift sharing spaces are for use by colleagues who share the car journey with at least one other person To use these spaces you must register with the car share scheme and display two permits - one orange and one pink or two pink Driver and passenger must be in the car at the time of parking.
We are noticing more colleagues arriving in these spaces with just a driver after dropping off their passenger elsewhere on site or if their regular passenger is on leave or not working. This is not permitted and will result in your car share permit being revoked. More information can be found on the intranet
