Car parking

We have Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) systems

How it works...

  1. As you enter the hospital car park, your vehicle registration will be captured automatically by camera.
  2. Park your vehicle in a designated car parking space
  3. When you are ready to leave, please pay at one of the pay stations, by entering your vehicle registration and following the onscreen instructions
  4. You now have the choice of paying with coins, notes and/or card including contactless payment
  5. Once you have paid, please return to your vehicle and proceed to exit
  6. If you have forgotten to pay for parking please contact Local Parking Security (LPS) by telephone on 01789 293273. Please listen to the information, you will be given the option to pay for "Hospital Parking" and will be asked to press option 1, please have your registration and information on where you parked ready to give to the call handler. This must be done within 24 Hours of leaving the Car Park. For your information their email address is LPS@localparkingsecurity.co.uk.

Please note our car parks can get extremely busy during peak times of the day, therefore where possible please consider alternative transport or leaving extra time for parking.
