SOME EXCITING NEWS FOR BLUE BADGE HOLDERS AND HOSPITAL PARKING – please see the car parking charges removed for blue badge holders at this document: NHS car parking guidance 2021 for NHS trusts and NHS foundation trusts – https://buff.ly/35qbl4y. Trusts were required to implement this by the end of April 2021.

We have been speaking to hospitals who have not yet implemented this – please  bear in mind we are just listing hospitals we have been told about many others do this too.  Please let us know your experiences by emailing leigh@steelbone.co.uk so we can keep everyone updated on the progress of the implementation of this programme which will help so many families.
