Staff parking for Sandwell patient move day – 6 October

October 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.
  • On call, car share and special permit parking is located on level 1. Temporary signage is in place to highlight where this is.
  • On call consultants and other colleagues with special permits with a valid windscreen permit are permitted to use these bays, the car sharing bays (on level 1 next to priority parking) 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.

Parking at Sandwell Hospital on move day

  • If you are at Sandwell Hospital on move day, please utilise the multi-storey car park or the car park on Hallam Street. The staff parking areas on the main hospital site will be closed off so we have room to park ambulances involved in the move.
