Parking at Midland Met during the move period

November 4, 2024

Please note that these will be the parking arrangements during our phased moves to Midland Met.

Current barrier cards for City Hospital, Sandwell General Hospital and Rowley Regis Hospital will work at Midland Met with no additional action required.

The current barrier cards are in the process of being extended, so please do not worry if you receive a message on the entry barrier that your barrier card is due to expire – it will be updated automatically.

If colleagues require a car parking permit and do not currently have one, please apply here: Q-Park (swbh.nhs.uk)

Access to Midland Met car parks

  • Access to the site for colleagues will be on level 1 of the car park with entrance from London Street. Please do not enter the car park on level 0 as this area is for patients and visitors and colleagues will be asked to turn around and enter via London Street.
  • The staff car park will be restricted to clinical staff only on move days and the following day – if you are involved in the move, you should park using the Cranford Street entrance as normal.
  • Once City moves are complete on 6/10 November, all support staff including MMUH Programme Company,  all IT support colleagues, Communications, those on tactical and operational rotas and in the move control centre, plus all Estates, Equans and subcontractor staff are required to park in the site office car park accessed via Cranford St, (former Balfour Beatty site entrance), until 2 December.

On call and special permits

  • There are dedicated priority staff bays within the staff car park on level 1 adjacent to the lifts.
  • On call consultants and other colleagues with special permits with a valid windscreen permit will be permitted to use these bays – the car sharing bays may be used as overflow if all other priority bays are occupied. To utilise these bays you must display your valid windscreen permit and, in the case of on call staff, not be attending your normal shift. Parking charge notices will apply for misuse of these spaces.
  • If you need to obtain a special window permit, please contact sandwellpermits@q-park.co.uk

Electric vehicle charging points

  • There are 30 electric vehicle charging sockets at Midland Met located on level 0. To register to access these, visit https://www.geniepoint.co.uk/ds.
  • Electric vehicle charging points and bays are available on a first come, first served basis. These spaces must only be used for vehicles that are on charge for up to half a day. The charging point parking area must then be vacated (and left empty) to allow the EV charging point to be used by another user.  Parking charge notices will apply for misuse of these spaces.
