Parking Updates

FAQ: What can I do to help parking on site?

We are asking everyone who can use the Park & Ride, to use the service We do understand that for some colleagues this might not be possible The more people who use the Park & Ride, the more spaces are available for those colleagues who really cannot use the service We wish to support colleagues’ individual circumstances which may stop them using Park & Ride. We would ask them to discuss these issues with their Manager and HR Business Partner to see how the Trust can support them

Colleagues parking on residential roads

We are still getting reports from nearby residents that hospital colleagues are parking on nearby streets and walking to workthere have been reports of staff parking on corners, and covering dropped kerbs and limiting public access

The worst affected roads are Squinter Pip Way and Somerby Drive (highlighted in red)

We are asking everyone to help us be responsible neighbours, by not parking on residential streets close to the hospital for work

The Park & Ride times will be extended from Monday and we would encourage everyone to use this free service and park your car securely at Oxon
