Have you completed your parking permit application?

September 27, 2021

Despite the recently announced delays in the opening of the new Sandwell and City multi storey car parks, Q-Park continue their replacement of the parking barrier equipment. Trust colleagues are therefore being invited to complete an application for a Q-Park parking permit to ensure continued access to the parking facilities by clicking here.

Colleagues parking at New Square: You will not be charged by Q Park for your parking until April 2022. If you still believe you have been charged please contact sandwellpermits@q-park.co.uk  and you will be refunded. There is also no need to apply for a new windscreen permit. The original one will still be valid (as long as your vehicle registration number has not changed) as New Square have kindly agreed to extend the facility until we are able to bring you back onto site.

Salary sacrifice for parking permits is only available to Trust colleagues who are already a member of the salary sacrifice scheme. Colleagues who are not members of the salary sacrifice scheme (who were previously paying by standard deduction from their salary), new Trust colleagues and colleagues who joined the Trust after 1 April 2017 will have to pay using monthly direct debit. If you don’t know your employee number when completing your application, it can be found on your payslip which you can access through ESR. Please check whether you are a member of the salary sacrifice scheme before applying by looking at a payslip prior to April 2020 (when charges were temporarily suspended) – if your car parking charge is on the left hand side of your payslip, you are a member of the scheme, if the charge is on the right hand side of your payslip, you paid by standard deduction from salary.

Please see Q Park application process for permits for detailed instructions of how to apply for your parking permit.

We ask all colleagues to complete their application as soon as possible to ensure their application is processed on time as once the barriers are changed to Q-Park, they will not be able to access the car park with their old card.

As part of your application, if you are asked to complete a digital copy of your direct debit mandate with your application number on it, you can download a blank form by clicking here. Don’t forget to include the name of your bank in the address section.

Note: When completing your application, your Q-Park PermitSmarti account registration confirmation email may go into your junk inbox so please check your junk email before contacting Q-Park.

Daily value parking card: If you feel like a standard permit does not fit your current working pattern you can apply for a Daily Value Card for £3 per visit. For further details please click here.
